Tour inside Tsukiji Honganji Temple
January 30 Let's approach the charm of "Tsukiji Honganji"! I participated in various attempts and tour of the bell tower.
Mr. Komada explained the history of Tsukiji Honganji, the construction of Tsukiji Honganji Temple based on novel ideas of Jodo Shinshu Honganji school gatekeeper Kozui Otani and Dr. Chuta Ito (this word was coined by Dr. Ito). There is a detailed explanation in "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia" pages 71, 120,131, but we had various interesting stories. main deity was brought from Osaka and Sakai to "Asakusa Gobo" in Yokoyamacho in 1617, and was carried by everyone during the great fire of the Meiryaku era and worshiped to the present day. In addition, the people of Tsukuda Island reclaimed this land, which was the sea at that time, and the people of Tsukuda Island are still donating various things as monks.
After this, I visited the bell tower, which is usually closed. There is a bell in a very small place, and it is said that it is still pierced at 6:30 pm.
It was a day when I got the knowledge of Tsukiji Honganji. Thank you very much.
