Takanawa Konjaku Monogatari
Learning the past and present of Takanawa areaDIGITAL HISTORY of TAKANAWA
A stone statue of a ‘tanuki’ (racoon dog) in front of a refreshing-looking washbasin. Intrigued by the interesting composition I instinctively took a snap of it! I got the sense it must be a kind-hearted temple, given the consideration they had showed in placing a net over the basin to protect what I guessed to be goldfish.
