Ikegami Honmonji Temple

Visitors to the temple saw this scene after passing through the front gate (existent) built between 1688 and 1704, going up the stairs donated by Kato Kiyomasa and installed between 1596 and 1615, and then passing through the sanmon gate built along with the five-story pagoda by the second shogun Tokugawa Hidetada in 1608. The building on the left is the drum tower where ceremonial drums were stored. Both the gate and the drum tower were destroyed in World War II. The 29.5-meter pagoda however survived and still stands today as the oldest pagoda in the Kanto region and a National Important Cultural Asset.

Ikegami Honmonji Temple

The five-story pagoda was built by the second shogun Tokugawa Hidetada in 1608 to show appreciation for his recovery from illness. The pagoda leaned to one side after the earthquake of 1614, and the fifth shogun Tsunayoshi ordered it to be repaired and transferred to its current location in 1701. The first story was designed in Japanese style, but the second story and above were executed in an unusual Chinese style. The building was completely restored in 2001.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐27‐0]
