Shiba Zōjō Shrine.
(Shiba Zōjōji, 芝増上寺).
A nice view of a woman walking by the left side of the Zōjō Shrine main gate, in Tōkyō, covering herself with a paper umbrella from the snow of a winter day.
The Zōjōji is affiliated with the Jōdō Shū (Pure land) Buddhist sect, being actually the main one in the Kantō region.
The temple had a strong connection with the Tokugawa family, a clan which had ruled Japan for the entire Edo period. Even six of the Tokugawa Shōgun have been buried in the temple mausoleum.
The main gate is called "Sangedatsumon" and it is considered to be the oldest wooden building in Tōkyō, dating back to 1622.
Nowadays you can see the Tōkyō tower rises from the back of the temple.
