Favorite Japan places - Komagatado Temple

By Muza-chan on May 5, 2009 | In Japan travel | 2 feedbacks »

In Asakusa, near Komagata Bashi, there’s a small temple, an architectural jewel, which attracts the eyes of the passersby.

The building was erected recently, in 2003, but it’s built on sacred ground. On this place was built, in the year 628, the first temple dedicated to the Bodhisattva Kannon, the Goddess of Mercy. The statue of the Goddess Kannon, found by two fishermen in the nearby Sumida River, was enshrined in this temple.
The Senso-ji Temple was erected later, in 645, and was also dedicated to Bodhisattva Kannon. Then, the statue was moved and enshrined at Senso-ji.

Locuri favorite ?n Japonia - Templul Komagatado

?n Asakusa, l?ngă Komagata Bashi, se află o bijuterie arhitectonică, un mic templu care noaptea atrage privirile trecătorilor.

Clădirea este recentă, din 2003, ?nsă este aşezată pe un loc ?ncărcat de spiritualitate. Aici, ?n anul 628, a fost construit primul altar dedicat zeiţei Kannon, ?n care a fost pusă statuia zeiţei găsită de doi pescari ?n r?ul Sumida, care curge prin apropiere. ?n anul 645 s-a construit ?n apropiere templul Senso-ji, dedicat zeiţei Kannon şi statuia a fost mutată acolo.
