A view of the main gate at Tokyo's Zojo-ji Temple, on a snowy evening. Wind drives falling snow across the image at an angle; pedestrians dressed for the cold tilt their umbrellas into the wind. Beyond, a fresh layer of snow is accumulating on the tall red-lacquered front gate of the temple; above, the sky is dim and overcast

Snow falls at Tokyo's Zojo-ji Temple. In the foreground, the branches of a few wiry pine trees are clogged with snow; beyond, a pair of female figures cross the wide snow-covered road, carrying bamboo umbrallas as protection against the falling snow. Further on, another pair of figures approaches the front steps of the impressive red-lacquered gate of Zojo-ji Temple. Above, the sky is dark and overcast; snow continues to fall across the scene

増上寺
三縁クッキー

姉からもらいました。
板橋にあるポエム洋菓子店というメーカーさんで作っているそうです。

徳川の葵紋をかたどったいかにも増上寺なクッキー、美味しいんですよね。
三縁とは、念仏行者と阿弥陀仏との間に結ばれる3種の縁。
親縁・近縁・増上縁を指す仏教用語で、増上寺の山号「三縁山」をあらわす名ですね。

Tokyo Tower looks nice during the day, too.
