Other Notes: |
Ref.: Blair Catalogue #163 (Toledo 1936), Grund #6. Shinobazu Pond today is in Ueno Park in the eastern part of Central Tokyo. With cherry blossoms that bloom in spring and lotuses that flower in summer, Ueno Park, the oldest and largest park in the city, is regarded as being one of Tokyo's most beautiful. Inside there are temples, shrines, and pagodas, also a pond, a zoo and some of Japan's finest museums. The temple on the man-made island in the middle of Shinobazu Pond is Bentendo Temple. It's dedicated to the goddess of prosperity and the arts. The current building dates back to 1958. The 17th century original was destroyed in the air raids of 1945. | ||||
