Description

Visiting Meguro Fudo — Ryusenji temple in the Meguro district, one of Edo's five great Acala shrines — this oban print from "Famous Places in Edo" shows pilgrims on the approach to the temple through its wooded grounds. The Fudo deity's fierce aspect protected the devoted and terrified the irreverent; the climb to the main hall through forested terrain was part of the devotional experience that drew worshippers from across the city.
