Mitsuaki Iwago is known for his animal photography.
The other day, a cat shot by Mr. Iwai went to see a movie of "Walking around the World Cat" in which the leading role is. When Iwaai shot an ordinary cat that seems to be around there, it was reflected on the screen more cute than the real thing, and I was very healed when I saw it.
I like cats. When I saw a movie, I wanted to see a cat. 。 。
In such a case, there are places where I always want to go. Tsukiji Honganji is close to Tsukiji Market.
Tsukiji Honganji is known for its many animals. Earlier, I introduced it in a blog post in the fall of 2014.
An article in the fall of 2014 ⇒ Search for animals at Tsukiji Honganji Temple
The building of Tsukiji Honganji Temple was designated as an Important Cultural Property in the winter of 2014. Chuta Ito, who designed this building, was interested in monster animals, and it is said that many animals are set up inside and outside the building.
Recently, it has been widely introduced in main hall.
If you look for it as introduced, you can easily find animals. But there are animals that struggle to find them in this Tsukiji Honganji temple.
When I wrote a blog post for the fall of 2014, cat-chan I met for the first time. I made it appear in that article. This cat is very friendly and is popular with tourists.
When I was squatting and waiting for me to come, it was a cute cat who came close slowly and posed properly. I'm sure there are a lot of names, so I've never heard of them.
Every time I came to Tsukiji Honganji, I began to look for this cat. I can't find it easily, but I'm very happy when I meet you.
But I haven't seen you lately.
This year, major construction has been underway on the precincts, but this spring before the construction began in full swing, this cat came near and it was charming enough to expose my stomach to the back.
I haven't seen it since then.
Did the territory be roughened during the construction and the place to stay disappeared? Maybe you've changed the territory?
But when I last met, I feel like I was wearing a collar, so I'm kind to someone?
Maybe I just didn't happen to meet you.
I think a lot of things.
In any case, animals that don't know what cats are thinking about. I think that such a whimish personality is probably the reason why I love cats.
The scenery of the precincts of Tsukiji Honganji Temple has changed greatly this year.
Tsukiji Honganji Temple originated as a separate temple of Nishi Honganji Temple and was built around the current Nihonbashi Yokoyama-cho. This year is just 400 years since then, and it is a milestone year.
It was in 1934 that the main hall of the current important cultural property of Tsukiji Honganji was built. The construction of the precincts was carried out in the form of the design philosophy at the beginning of the construction, and it was very beautiful.
The entrance of the car has changed, the entrance for people flowing from the Tsukiji Market has been added, and various historical sites that have been at the edge have been moved to the side of the walking path ..., etc.
I feel that it has become a space that is easy to enter, taking into account the safety of worshipers and tourists.
On the other hand, a glass-walled building that is unlikely to be a temple facility has been completed. It seems to be called the Information Center, and it opened recently. I haven't entered yet, but it seems that there are some shops such as cafes and bookstores, and it is a space where you can relax.
It's getting chilly, isn't it?
I think there are many people who are planning to go to Hamarikyu to see the autumn leaves, and those who plan to visit Tsukiji Market by the end of the year. In that case, I would like you to stop by Tsukiji Honganji Temple, which has changed drastically toward the next new era, and experience this temple.
And if you look for various animals at the temple, and if you see a cat on the precincts, I hope everyone will watch it with gentle eyes.
