What you can learn from the history of Tsukiji Honganji in an unprecedented situation
Nice to meet you! My name is Kazuyoshi, who has been a correspondent since 2020. As we send charm and bright information of Chuo-ku through this blog from now on, thank you. For my profile and SNS information, please check my profile page. The theme this time, which will be the first post, is "What you can learn from the history of Tsukiji Honganji." Tsukiji Honganji Temple was built in the Nihonbashi Yokoyamacho area in the early Edo period as a separate temple of Nishi Honganji Temple, the Motoyama of the Jodo Shinshu Honganji school in Kyoto. After that, it was burned down by the great fire of the Meiryaku era, and it was rebuilt in Tsukiji, a land reclaimed mainly by people of Tsukuda Island (now the Tsukuda area of Chuo-ku). But again, it was burned down by the Great Kanto Earthquake. After that, it was rebuilt in an ancient Indian style architecture and has continued to this day with a distinctive appearance that is not typical of a Japanese temple. In 2014, main hall and others were designated as important national cultural properties! In this way, the history of Tsukiji Honganji is also the history of battles against disasters such as fires and earthquakes. Regardless of the disaster, Tsukiji Honganji has been steadily reconstructed and developed each time with the cooperation of many stakeholders, including local residents. At present, it is difficult for people to visit and hold events due to the influence of COVID-19, but efforts are being made to deliver peace of mind to people through online distribution of tales! Tsukiji Honganji HP At present, there is an unprecedented situation of the COVID-19 pandemic around the world, but as Tsukiji Honganji has overcome the disaster, I believe that we can overcome this situation by doing what each person can do, relying on people when they are in trouble, and relying on each other. I want to overcome this situation and quickly go to various places in Chuo-ku, including Tsukiji Honganji with a smile!
