Zojoji　増上寺

-

 


The ``Black Honzon'' is said to bring good fortune.


Zojoji Temple is known for its deep ties to Tokugawa Ieyasu. 


This is because during the Sengoku period, when Prince Ieyasu entered Edo, he became the danka of Zojoji Temple, and later became the family temple of the Tokugawa family. 


At that time, people did not know when they would die, so it was common to have a Bodhisattva temple nearby.

Tokyo Tower x Tokyo Skytree: Circle of Apollonius

-
Image
Tokyo Skytree and Tokyo Tower are both landmarks of Tokyo, but they differ greatly in height and design. Tokyo Tower is 333m tall, with historical design and attractive night views. Tokyo Skytree is 634m tall, boasting an overwhelming height of more than twice that of Tokyo Tower. Although Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree are similar yet different, there are places where the two towers of different heights appear to be aligned at the same height. Why, even though they are about 8km apart in a straight line?! The answer is a theorem called the Circle of Apollonius. Since it's a circle, there are many places where you can see it!
