Der Tag begann heute mit einem Frühstück im Kyu Shiba Rikyu-Park. Dann ging es in den Zojo-Tempel mit dem Mausoleum der Tokugawa-Shogune. Das Wetter war und blieb leider den ganzen Tag nieselig. #Shiba #Zojoji #Tokyocameraclub #東京カメラ部 #DonInJapan

UNESCO's executive board on Thursday added Buddhist scriptures kept at Tokyo's Zojoji Temple to its Memory of the World register, making it the ninth Japanese inscription. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/18/japan/zojoji-buddhist-scriptures-unesco/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #unesco #temples #buddhism #zojoji

#Zojoji is the big Buddhist temple under #Tokyo Tower. Most of its buildings were destroyed in WWII firebombings, with the notable exception its massive gate built in 1622, which is officially one of the city's oldest wooden structures (shown below in a print from around 1870).
