Ukiyo-e One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, 053 Zojoji Temple Pagoda and Akabane.

https://www.axera.co.jp/edo100views/i... Ukiyo-e series drawn by Hiroshige Ando in the Edo period, One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, the place where it was set I asked him what was actually happening now. If possible, every SundayI would like to update it. Click here for Japanese version. https://www.axera.co.jp/edo100/index.... Please see the homepage for all the explanations. I visited the 100 Famous Views of Edo, painted by my favorite artist, Hiroshige Ando, to see what the scenes look like today. 053 "Zojoji Temple Pagoda and Akabane" is a view looking toward Akabanebashi Bridge through the five-story pagoda that was located in the precincts of Zojoji Temple at that time. First of all, I explored Hiroshige's point of view from a map. It is said that there was a five-story pagoda on top of the Shibamaruyama burial mound, which is now located in Shiba Park. The pagoda was built by Sakai Utanokami, the first Grand Elder of the Edo Shogunate and Lord of Himeji Castle, and was once destroyed by fire in 1806, but was later rebuilt by the Sakai family. It can be seen clearly from boats floating in Edo Bay, and was a landmark like the Tokyo Tower is today. I added a red gradation to Hiroshige's viewpoint. I superimposed an old map of Tenpo on it. In the Edo Meisho Zue (Illustrated Guide to Famous Places in Edo), Gessin Saito depicted the vast Zojoji Temple in a series of five pages. The five-story pagoda is depicted on the leftmost page. Zojoji Temple was built around the 9th century by a disciple of Kukai as Komyoji Temple in the Kojimachi area. In terms of feng shui, Kan'eiji Temple of the Tendai sect was located in Ueno, the demon's gate to Edo, and Zojoji Temple was moved to its current location to suppress the turf at the back demon's gate. This is a full view of Zojoji drawn by Hiroshige, although the five-story pagoda is missing. Zojoji Temple, the Kanto head temple of the Jodo sect of Buddhism, was particularly famous for its bell tower and five-story pagoda that could be heard as far as Boso, but the mausoleum of the Tokugawa family and the five-story pagoda were destroyed in air raids during World War II. Please see the map that shows the size of Zojoji Temple at that time. The red area was the site of Zojoji Temple and its sub-institutes. It is said that the Jodo sect of Buddhism, Zojoji Temple, had a power comparable to that of Chion-in Temple in Kyoto, the head temple of the Tokugawa family, because it was under the generous patronage of the Tokugawa family. The river to the south was the lower reaches of the Shibuya River, which became the Furukawa River, passed through Azabu Juban, became the Akabane River here, and flowed into the sea through Kanasugi Bridge. It is now covered by the Metropolitan Expressway Loop Line. Hiroshige painted Akabane-bashi Bridge from a lower angle in his Toto Meisho. The upper residence of the Arima family, the banner of the Suitengu shrine, the fire watchtower on the left, and the people coming and going on the Akabanebashi bridge are all depicted peacefully. It conveys a peaceful era. I went down to the road. The apartment in the middle is a tower apartment building at the foot of Akabanebashi Bridge. The building on the left is Myojo-in Temple, which I saw on an old map. Please also see the video from this angle. As you swing the camera to the right, you can see Tokyo Tower and the Grand Prince Hotel. At that time, this was also the site of Zojoji Temple. If you compare it to Beato's photo, you can see the amazing transformation it has undergone. Take a look at the current Applemap street view. At the end of the tennis court is Myojo-in Temple, and beyond that is Akabanebashi Bridge, and you can see the Metropolitan Expressway Loop Line running above along the old river. The five-storied pagoda of Asakusa was inserted into the picture to show the atmosphere. When Hiroshige painted it, the five-story pagoda was red. However, this was too lonely, so I left the five-story pagoda and inserted a photo of Akabanebashi Bridge from the top of the hill, hidden by the trees. This area has been home to human activity since ancient times, even to the extent that the Shibamaruyama burial mound still remains. In the Edo period (1603-1868), a landmark red five-story pagoda was built. However, it too was lost in the conflicts between people, and the red Tokyo Tower was built as a new landmark for Tokyo. Isn't it true that the times keep on creating and destroying new things? Finally, please take a look at the image of Tokyo Tower. This is the view over the park next to Toshogu Shrine in the precincts of Zojoji Temple. In this park, there is a "Peace Light". This "fire" is a combination of the "Peace Light" of Hiroshima City, the "Fire of Peace" of Yame City, Fukuoka Prefecture, and the "Nagasaki Pledge Fire" of Nagasaki City. In this way, the horrors of war and the preciousness of peace are passed on to future generations.
