"There is congealed in the ōezu maps of Edo a peculiar compositional mode that fades from view when we look back from the perspective of a maps of Tokyo which introduced modern surveying techniques. At the center of the map is the white space of the shogun’s castle overlaid with the hollyhock crest of the Tokugawa around which is a mosaic of streets and daimyō residences reproduced with great precision. [...] This cartographic vision which scarcely changed for two hundred years suggests an image of urban space as it was understood by the people of early modern Japan.
It is a series of concentric circles with the castle at the center."

. Onsen 温泉 - Hot Spring - Introduction .

- quote
Ranking list of hot springs in various regions / 諸国温泉鑑 Shokoku Onsen Kagami

This is a ranking list of hot springs made in the style of a sumo banzuke.
In the middle is a diagram of the Ōzeki (grand champion) of the east, Jōshū Kusatsu Onsen (hot spring).
The use of hot springs spread among the common people during the Edo Period.
Numerous banzuke were published to list hot springs or rank their therapeutic benefits.
They all ranked Kusatsu Onsen as being the Ōzeki of the east, and
Arima Onsen as being the Ōzeki of the west,
while many of them showed Hongūno Yu or Shingūno Yu of Kumano in the position of the "promoter" or "referee."
Books were also published on the therapeutic benefits of hot springs,
including the book, "The Secret to Maintaining Good Health (Yōjō kun)" (published in 1713),
written by Kaibara Ekiken, and "Discussions on Hot Springs(Onsen kō)"
written by Hara Sōkei who was a doctor and a Confucian scholar.

The maneki-neko legend of an old woman takes places in Imado.

quote
Imado Yaki 今戸焼 Imado Porcelain

Although the exact origin of Imado porcelain is unknown,
it is said that it began when a retainer of 千葉氏 the Chiba clan in 下総国 Shimousa Province
settled in 石浜 Ishihama or 今戸 Imado and began making roof tiles and earthenware.
Aside from roof tiles, there were also many hibachi 火鉢 (charcoal braziers,)
tablewear and figurines such as 稲荷の狐 Inari foxes and Maneki-neko 招き猫 (beckoning cats.)

Imado is located close to Asakusa in Tokyo. The clay was taken from the river Sumidagawa to produce cheap toys for the children of Edo.
The last craftsman to produce these dolls was Owariya Harukichi 尾張屋春吉 who died in 1944.
Now made by 白井 Imado-yaki Shrai.

Imado yaki 今戸焼 Imado ware
quote
Imado Shrine 今戸神社, Imado jinja
is a Japanese shrine located in Imado where north part of Tokyo Asakusa. It is one of the Shichifukujin (七福神) Shines of Asakusa, and enshrined Fukurokuju (福禄寿). The history of the shrine begins at 1063 by Yoshitomo Minamoto and Yoshiie Minamoto.
It is very famous for the birth place of fortune cat (招き猫, manekineko), and last place of Soji Okita (沖田総司), the greatest samurai warrior of Shinsengumi (新撰組). Now, it is well known as good luck shrine for love and marriage.
There are many good luck items for love and marriage with fortune cat.

Imado Ware (Imado Yaki)
Imado ware made in what is now called Imado in Taito city, was one of the most popular type of earthernware fo vessels and figures during the Edo period. The Pedestals of the guardian dogs at the Imado Shrine, carry the names of Imado potters and the date of 1752 when these figures were presented.

Imado ware was said to have originated at the beginning of the Edo period, however it was not until the endo of the 18th Century that it was given the name of Imado ware. As a result, it can be presumed that Imado ware was already being produced full scale during the first half of the 18th Century. THe production of old fashioned roof tiles flourished along the banks of Sumida River. This production of Imado ware was depicted in "Edo Meisyo Zue" and in "Sumidagawa Choryu Zukan" currently being held at The British Museum.

In recent years, excavations at the ruins of Edo have uncovered earthenware vessels and dolls carrying names of potters of Imado ware and also roof tiles with the impressed seal of Imado.
The Great Kanto Earthquake and WWII Tokyo air raids forced almost all potters to move out of Taito city, leaving only one family, which still produces earthenware dolls of traditional figures. These include "maneki neko" know as fortune cats and "Kuchi ire kitsune" know as good life foxes.

Last place of Soji Okita
This shrine is also known as the last place of Soji Okita who is one of the most popular and strongest Sumurai in the Edo period. He was the team leader of 1st party of Shinsengumi. When he was suffering from tuberculosis, he was curing at this temple. However, he died because of that. It was great irony that the greatest samurai who never lost by sword fighting could never get over with his disease.

Fukurokuju is the one of the enshrined god in this shrine. Fukurokuju is one of the Seven Lucky God in Japan. When you are in Asakusa, visit all Seven shrines and temple where enshrined each gods. This god brings you the happiness and long life.

Enshrined God:
Emperor Ojin, Izanaginomikoto, Izanaminomikoto and Fukurokuju.
Pray for: Good luck for love and marriage (enmusubi).
