Looking toward the Sanmon Gate at Tokyo's Zojoji Temple, on a snowy winter's day. In the foreground, a female pedestrian wearing a kimono and geta carries an umbrella over her head as protection from the snow; she looks over her shoulder as a small dog crosses the street just behind her. Further on, other figures also carry umbrellas as they approach the impressive Sanmon Gate - tall, wide, and red-lacquered - leading into the Zojoji Temple grounds. Fresh snow lies across the street and the curving rooftops of the gate, and weighs down the branches of nearby wiry pine trees. The sky above is dark and overcast, and snow continues to fall across the scene.

Title: Sanmon Gate, Zojoji Temple (1953)

Artist: Kasamatsu Shiro

@cakeswithfaces.bsky.social's Japanuary: architecture old vs. new. Why choose when you can have both? (but @datenagumo.bsky.social did it better 😉) #Tokyo #Japan #Zojoji #tokyotower #Japanuary25d18

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。
