Incense-burning at the Buddhist temple Sensō-ji.

Sensō-ji was originally founded in 645, making it the oldest Buddhist temple in Tokyo. According to legend it all began when two fishermen found a statue of the Kannon  in the nearby river in 628 (they now are venerated in a nearby Shinto shrine: the Asakusa Shrine - Asakusa and Sensō are written with the same kanjis, by the way: 浅草 which can be read both ways). During the Tokugawa shogunate (beginning in 1603) Tokugawa Ieyasu chose Sensō-ji to be the tutelary temple of his clan. Earlier the temple was associated with the Tendai sect, but after World War II the temple went independent.
