Senkoji Temple

Senkoji Temple doesn't look to have any outstanding features.
However, there's a grave of famous person in Edo era.

It's UTAMARO's grave.
He's one of the most popular Ukiyo-e print artists.

His works are famous for close-ups of beautiful women.

This temple was established in 1604 in Shinagawa, then moved to Asakusa due to a big fire.
And it was moved here after the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923.
