Shiba Daimon at Night por Rekishi no Tabi Por Flickr: This is the rebuilt outer gate that leads to Zōjō-ji in Shiba, Tokyo. Zōjō-ji is affiliated with the Jodo sect of Buddhism, which was founded by Honen Shonin in 1175. Zōjō-ji was built in 1393, but Tokugawa Ieyasu moved it to its current site in the Shiba are of Minato-ku in 1598 as he began to build up the city of Edo—which was what Tokyo was called until 1868. Zojo-ji became the patron temple of the Tokugawa and the final resting place for many of the shoguns—hence the temple and its gates are decorated with the hollyhock family crest of the Tokugawa clan.

Model of the Taitokuin Mausoleum 1909-10

Wood, lacquer, copper alloy, painted and partially gilded

The model is an accurate one-tenth scale facsimile of the Taitokuin Mausoleum, dedicated to the second Tokugawa shogun, Hidetada, who died in 1632. The Mausoleum was constructed shortly after his death at the Tokugawa family temple of Zojo-ji in Edo (now Tokyo). It was made by the leading architects, builders, sculptors and artists of the day and served as the prototype for the rebuilding of the Nikko Toshogu in 1634-36. The Mausoleum was destroyed in the war-time bombing of Tokyo in May 1945.

The model was commissioned by the City of Tokyo for display at the Japan-British Exhibition at White City, London, from May to October 1910, at which millions of Londoners gained their first experience of Japanese culture. It was made while the actual Mausoleum still stood, and was based on precise measurements and study of its architecture and decoration. As it is very large, the model was made with many of the same materials and techniques of the original, including timber frame joinery by temple carpenters, maki-e (gold and silver lacquerwork) metal work and polychromy.

Zojo-ji in Tokyo. The view of this lovely temple with Tokyo Tower right behind it is stunning. Also, it’s main gate is one of the oldest wooden buildings in Japan. It was built in 1622. #japantravel #tokyotravel #japanesetemple #zojoji #東京観光 #増上寺 #御朱印　 (at 増上寺) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnGgmFJvf7d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yesterday we took a walk from Azabujuban shopping street to Shiba park and Zojoji. The very first day not wearing a coat! The virtual walk is on my YouTube channel (link in stories). I started these walks because I want to show my family back home the places I see - and I love Tokyo too much! The building was the main gate of the mausoleum of Hidetada Tokugawa, the second shogun of the Edo Shogunate, and is an important cultural property. The mausoleum was built on the south side of the precincts of Zojo-ji Temple in 1788, the year Hidetada died. It was the largest of the Tokugawa family mausoleums, but most of it was destroyed in the WWII raids. 🚇 Closer stations: Shibakoen (Mita line) and Akabanebashi (Oedo line). #shibakoen #shibapark #tokyotower #tokyotowerview #japaneseculture #japantourism #japanesecultureexperience #japanesehistory #japanesehistoryandculture #japanesehistoricalplace #zojoji #zojojitemple #東京タワー #東京タワー景色 #芝公園　#増上寺 #増上寺と東京タワー #virtualtravel #virtualwalk #virtualwalkthrough (presso Shiba Koen) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpsO4BiPsvy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
