Komagome Tenso Shrine, 3-40-1 Honkomagome, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo
A sacred place that has been cut off several times throughout its long history.
And it is a miracle that the approach to the shrine from long ago remains, which is rare in Tokyo.
We are grateful for this.

When you visit shrines in Tokyo, you are often surprised by the sacred places that have been protected by the people.
Floods, fires, earthquakes, war damage, and materialism.
A small shrine, a shrine on the roof of a building, a shrine directly under the highway.
Sacred places that are there for people in whatever form, and the guardians that protect them.
I made this video because I wanted to share these beautiful images.
Japanese landscapes and Japanese people of the past preserved in old photographs.
There is a Japan that seems likely to be forgotten. I really don't want to forget the forgotten Japan.
The photographs are around 100 years old, some are around 150 years old, and some are 85 years old.
Please come and feel the connection with people from the past.
