Main Hall(Kannondo Hall) #Asakusa #Sensoji #Tokyo #Japan #travel
R [Applause] n oh ner
Built by the 3rd Tokugawa shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu, and designated a national treasure, the Main Hall was destroyed in the Great Tokyo Air Raid on March 10, 1945. It was rebuilt in 1958 with donations from followers all over Japan.
The immediately apparent characteristic of the Main Hall is its dramatically sloping roof that is quite tall compared to that of other temples.
This hall is divided into the naijin (inner sanctum) and the gejin (outer sanctum). Senso-ji’s principal image, the Bodhisattva Kannon, sits in a miniature temple in the middle of the naijin.
