Tokyo Daibutsu

Temple Jorenjie




After a long time since I visited here last.
 I have lived in near here long time ago and I have visited often. 
Jorenjie has high social standing that was gained by Tokugawa Shogun.




Daibutsu






Here they are.





           THE LUCKY SEVEN !

Left to right,

1. Ju-Rojin
2.Hukurokuju
3.Benzaiten or simply Benten
4.Bisyamonten
5.Hotei
6.Daikoku
7.Yebisu

Only a Benten is female.


Tombstone







These are typical tombstones which made in Edo era. Stone image of  bodhisattvas distinguish it and generally these are persons who died leaving no one to attend to their graves at that time. And nowadays completely. They are almost women and children.
I have seen similar sight of old temple in Tokyo very often.
