I went to Tsukiji Honganji's "Lunchtime Concert
-2000 Winds-" on a sunny 
and warm Friday afternoon on February 24th.
Tsukiji Honganji is officially called "Jodo Shinshu Honganji Temple Honganji Temple Tsukiji Betsuin".
At present, the temple at Tsukiji 3-chome was originally located in Yokoyamacho, near Asakusa, but after it was burned down in the Edo Furisode fire (1657), it was not allowed to rebuild it to the old land, and it was replaced by It was built (
1679) by the believers, who reclaimed the sea (
)
of Hatchobori, mainly in the center.
main hall (1934), rebuilt after being burned down in the Great Kanto Earthquake, has an impact with its stone ancient Indian appearance, but this temple has a rare "pipe organ" in Buddhist temples.
On the last Friday of every month, a “lunchtime concert” is held by this pipe organ.
Admission is free, and anyone can participate freely. The time is about 30 minutes from 12:20 to 50 minutes.
Today's player was Tomoko Oyama.
There were three songs, including Bach and Mendelssohn, and many people listened.
The pipe organ I heard at the temple main hall at lunchtime before the weekend was gorgeous and light, majestic and heavy, and soothing and soothing.
The next concert will be held on March 30 (Fri), and the nearest station is a 1-minute walk from Tsukiji Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line
.
