		I have seen three or four maps from the 1500's onwards of the area where we live, and originally this land was temple land with a number of temples having been here since the infamous Long-Sleeves Fire of 1657.
		Zojoji, the main temple of the Jodo Shu (Pure Land sect) of Buddhism became the main temple of the Tokugawa Shogunate at the beginning of the Edo Period.
		Today, however, its cathedral and other structures have been rebuilt, and Zojoji continues to serve as the main temple of Jodo shu and the central nembutsu seminary for priests and novices.

		Moved to what is now known as Shiba Koen by Tokugawa Ieyasu, Zojoji was the preeminent Buddhist temple in an area containing many.
		It was located near a major thoroughfare, the Tokaido, the East Sea Road to Kyoto, and was thus visited by monks, pilgrims, and travelers.
		Hoping to usurp influence from the Buddhist temples, the rulers of Meiji Japan turned the the Shiba area into a “public garden.” (The Japanese word “koen” means park).

	Libraries & Culture, Bookplate Archive
		Buddhist temple libraries in Japan can be traced back to the seventh century, and might be considered similar in many respects to monastic libraries in the West.
		However, the Zojoji Temple in Shiba, Tokyo prefecture, which was responsible for the bookplate depicted here, was built near the end of the sixteenth century.
		During World War II the Zojoji Temple was destroyed by bombing, and although the buildings themselves have been restored, there appears to be little record or recollection left as to what its library might have contained or exactly how it might have been used.

	Zojoji - Tokugawa's shrine Photo Gallery by Rudy Dale at pbase.com
		Something about the Tokugawa's shrine at Zojoji always brings me back - perhaps it's the stereotypical traditional architecture of the buildings, but maybe it's also the perfect juxtaposition of old and new, with the Tokyo Tower looming mightily in the background and office towers rising ominously all around.
		Tokyo gave me rather a grey day to photograph this otherwise colorful complex, with it's vivid red shrine.
		Zojoji is a reconstruction, completed in the 1970's, of the original structure.

		I suppose the desire of the laity to participate by some sacrifice of their own in Liturgical services, and to support priests, goes back almost to Adam and Eve, and is ritualized in most religions.
		Just a few weeks ago I happened to be in Zojoji Temple in Tokyo, when a joint group participated in a pre-arranged commemorative ceremony for their dead.
		The Buddhist priests marched with stately step in finest purple vestments, while young priests and altar boys flitted about to light candles, burn incense, jangle the bells, and assist in a general way; the priests sung sutras in plaintiff ritualized tones, accompanied by rhythmic tapping on wooden drums.
