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 în Japonia - Templul Komagatado
În Asakusa, lângă Komagata Bashi, se află o bijuterie arhitectonică, un mic templu care noaptea atrage privirile trecătorilor.
Clădirea este recentă, din 2003, însă este aşezată pe un loc încărcat de spiritualitate. Aici, în anul 628, a fost construit primul altar dedicat zeiţei Kannon, în care a fost pusă statuia zeiţei găsită de doi pescari în râul Sumida, care curge prin apropiere. În anul 645 s-a construit în apropiere templul Senso-ji, dedicat zeiţei Kannon şi statuia a fost mutată acolo.
