The five-story pagoda of Kaneiji Temple

This five-storied pagoda was built in 1631by Doi Toshikatsu, a minister of the Shogunate, and was donated to Ueno Toshogu Shrine (the shrine dedicated to the first Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu). The original pagoda was destroyed by a fire at Yakushi-do in 1636 and replaced with this pagoda by Doi Toshikatsu the same year. The stone lanterns of Toshogu visible in the foreground are still remain on the north side of the approach to Ueno Zoo. Ownership transferred to Kan'eiji Temple in 1868 and then the Metropolitan Tokyo Government after World War II. Today it is referred to as the former pagoda of Kan'eiji Temple. Only two pagodas from the Edo Period remain in Tokyo at present, this one and another at Honmonji Temple in Ikegami.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐16‐2]
