Senso-ji Main Hall
@rkrkrk
Tokyo's oldest and most visited temple explodes from the pavement in brilliant shades of vermillion. The sacred and famous site is significant for the golden image of the Buddhist goddess of mercy that lives within its walls.
Legend has it that in the year 628, two brothers pulled a statue of the goddess out of the Sumida River. They returned the statue to the riverbed, but it always found its way back to them.
