In an unexpected place, Tsukiji 2nd

Tsukiji is Tsukiji Honganji, and its main hall is a landmark of Chuo-ku with its unique dignity that imitates the ancient Indian style. And common sense in common sense for those who are considering taking the Chuo-ku Tourism Test, "Designer is Chuta Ito" may be a service problem? Oh, yes.

I met Chuta Ito in an unexpected place.

Meet Chuta Ito in Fukuroi City, Shizuoka Prefecture

In Fukuroi City, Shizuoka Prefecture, where you meet Chuta Ito unexpectedly, Tsukiji 2nd

Don't you think it's similar to the subordinate Zen Temple of Tsukiji Honganji?　
It is a guard tower located in Kasuisai in Fukuroi City, Shizuoka Prefecture.
Kasuisai has a long history and many Cultural Heritage as a Zen temple in Soto sect, a prayer dojo dedicated to the protective god against fire outbreaks Akiba Sanshakubo Daigongen.
We went to the Kasui Yuri Garden opposite Kasuisai and had lunch with Kasuisai's vegetarian cuisine. What is the building like the Buddhist study pagoda seen from the Yurinoen? I thought it was, so when I studied with Kasuisai's pamphlet while waiting for the dining table, there is a Gukoku Tower designed by Chuta Ito.
It's Chuta Ito!　Oh, I have to look at it.
It was enshrined on a hill in the back on a large site that could not fit in the photo of the precincts of the pamphlet.

The Gukoku Tower was designed by Chuta Ito for the memorial service of the war dead of the Russo-Japanese War (end of 1905), and was completed in February 1911, so this style was used before Tsukiji Honganji completed in 1934. I wonder if he was! That's right.
I learned about Chuta Ito, which had previously been a log, and learned about the impact of studying abroad in China, India, and Turkey since 1902 and on the architectural world.

The mountain gate

The mountain gate is also an unexpected place, Tsukiji No. 2

The mountain gate was also designed by Chuta Ito. It was designed in 1935, but it was not completed, and it was said that it was dropped in 2010. Chuta Ito, who liked youkai, arranged a cute youkai on the roof, and it was on Kasuisai's website.
The fact that Chuta Ito liked youkai again! That's right.

By the way, the name of Kasuisai is derived from Ieyasu Tokugawa in the pamphlet. When Ieyasu was young, he had the eleventh generation Kazuo save the crisis. When he became Hamamatsu castle owner, he invited Kazuo to thank him at that time, and Kazuo began to fall asleep. Ieyasu said, "Isao should sleep (sleep)" and forgiven that sleeping in front of you would not be rude.
In Taiga drama series next year, Ieyasu is the main character, I wonder if this episode will come out.

Last year, I wrote an article on "Tsukiji Temple unexpectedly", but when I encounter a person's name or matter related to Chuo-ku where I went, I will respond unexpectedly and be excited. .
It is a discovery that turns the circle memorization of the examination study for the sightseeing test into a lively understanding and experience.
