This gate is the "Taitoku-in Mausoleum," which is designated as an important cultural property by the government.

On either side of the gate, there is a statue of Deva king.

This statue of Deva King has been designated as a Tangible Cultural Property by Minato-Ku, Tokyo.

The statue on the right is called "agyou" and the one on the left is called "ungyou", and they are often installed as a pair.

It's a good look.

This statue was moved from Seifukuji Temple in Saitama Prefecture to Sensoji Temple in Tokyo, where it is now enshrined.
It is thought to have been created in the Edo period.
I wonder what kind of world they have seen.

This is a park near the Tokyo Tower.

It has a small slide, spring-type playground equipment, and benches.

I would like to introduce the park as well, as there are various playground equipment in different parks.

The Pumpkin Ghosts were at Zuppa, one of my favorite stores where I go to buy groceries.
He looks like a shopkeeper, wearing a buttoned-up shirt.

The store is a fun place to buy imported and Japanese commercial ingredients in small quantities.

Push button signal

There are many push-button signals in the city.
They have buttons like this one.

You can also see the Chinese characters for "押ボタン式" next to the pedestrian signals.

Oenothera was blooming beautifully.

It is pronounced "Matsuyoi gusa". Another name for it is "Tsukimi sou".
"Tsukimi sou" is written in Chinese characters as "月見草" meaning viewing the moon.
It is a beautiful name.

On this day, too, the yellow flowers were beautiful against the blue sky.
