"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."

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).

Ebisu district Shibuya

Ebisu 恵比寿

- quote
Ebisu (恵比寿) is major district of Shibuya-ku in Tokyo, Japan.
It was developed on the site of a former brewery and is now home to Yebisu Garden Place.
It has a high concentration of bars and restaurants.
- - - History Ebisu was founded around 1928 as a community developed around the Japan Beer Brewery Company
(now Sapporo Breweries Limited) facilities which began brewing Yebisu Beer in 1890.
After the breweries were moved to Chiba in 1988,
the area underwent a major urban development resulting in the construction of Yebisu Garden Place,
which opened to the public in 1994.
Following the construction of Yebisu Garden Place in 1994, the area around Ebisu Station developed rapidly.
The district and railway station of Ebisu takes its name from the Yebisu Beer brand,
which in turn was named after Ebisu (one of the Japanese Seven Gods of Fortune).
The spelling "Yebisu" is intentionally archaic.
With or without the "y" the pronunciation is the same as "Ebisu".
- - - Food and drink
Ebisu has a high concentration of restaurants, cafés, izakaya, ramen shops, bars and old-fashioned tachinomi ("stand and drink") bars.
- - - Yebisu Garden Place
Yebisu Garden Place is a shopping and cultural center located in Ebisu.
It has a sloped promenade leading to a large central plaza covered by a wide glass arch. The area regularly hosts events and markets on weekends.
The complex contains the following attractions:
Sapporo Breweries headquarters;
Museum of Yebisu Beer;
Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography;
Château Restaurant Joël Robuchon, a replica of a Louis XVI French château which houses three Michelin-starred restaurants (L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon - 2 stars, La Table de Joël Robuchon - 2 stars, and Le Chateau de Joël Robuchon - 3 stars);
Yebisu Garden Place Tower, a skyscraper with "sky dining" restaurants on the top 38th and 39th floors with panoramic views over Tokyo;
Atre shopping arcade;
Glass Square, a self-enclosed shopping centre; and
Mitsukoshi department store.
Yebisu Garden Place also offers annual winter illumination.
It is one of the most popular winter illumination events in Tokyo which has been held for over 20 years. It contains over 100,000 LED lights and a Baccarat crystal chandelier that is 5m large x 3m wide "It’s the world biggest Baccarat chandelier created with 8,472 pieces of crystal parts and 250 lights by 70 skilled craftsmen."
This is one of the most romantic attractions and it is perfect for couples usually from November 3 to December 25.
