Photographer's Note
Here is Toukaku-ji temple of Buzan sect of shingon buddism in Tokyo Tabata, and is one of Yanaka Seven Lucky Gods. The mission as temple is happiness, wealth and longevity. This temple is one of the Seven Lucky Gods in Yanaka area of Tokyo. The three primary virtues of three sorts of wishes by which desire is strongly carried out by Taoism, happiness, property, and a long life are embodied. For reason the beginning of the year, many visitors were visiting this temple focusing on the aged people. Incidentally, the red paper next to of the flag in a left photograph is stuck on Acala. By sticking on Acara, it is said that illness was cured. The photograph which exists in the center is Xian (Taoism). In Chinese Taoism, the person who acquired eternal youth non-death is pointed out.

Hello Mikio,
This is another intersting and attractive little collection of photos in the style that you have made your own. Fine sculptures (one or two would be regarded as amusing by foreigners) and a colourful view of the temple entrance.
Well done. Thanks for showing,
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Mikio,
The note is needed to understand this religious tradition, I read with interest. The photos are very interesting for me as a French non-believer. Nice pictures of good quality and nicely presented. Bravo.
Have a nice day.
