Senso-ji
Senso-ji is an ancient Buddhist temple located in Asakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo. It is the oldest temple in Tokyo. According to legend, a statue of the Kannon-Bosatsu (goddess of mercy) was found in 628 by two fishermen. The chief of their village recognized the sanctity of the statue and enshrined it. In 645, renowned Buddhist priest Shokai Shonin built the first temple. During the Edo period, the temple was protected by the Tokugawa shoguns after Tokugawa Ieyasu (first shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate) designated it as tutelary temple of the Tokugawa clan.
