'Asakusa Kinryuzan Temple' by Tsuchiya Koitsu, 1938. From the series 'Sketches of Famous Places in Japan'. This image is also available on:
A night scene of the pagoda at the famous Senso-ji (Kinryuzan) Temple in the Asakusa district of Tokyo. This iteration of the pagoda was built in the early 17th century, on the site of several earlier pagodas stretching back to the 10th century. In Japan, prone to earthquakes, buildings seldom last as long as they do elsewhere. However, this pagoda survived the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 only to fall to the American bombing of Tokyo in WW2, making this one of the last works of art to feature it. It was rebuilt, almost identically, in the 1970s, but you will still never see it quite as Tsuchiya depicts it here: the modern pagoda stands brightly lit by modern lighting against the backdrop of the neon-stained Tokyo skies, the soft moonlight that illuminated Tsuchiya's pagoda another lost relic of the past.
