Senso-ji ibodatxonasi
Tokiodagi eng qadimgi ibodatxona
Senso-ji ibodatxonasi nima?
Tokioning Asakusa tumanining qoq markazida joylashgan Senso-ji ibodatxonasi Yaponiyaning eng mashhur va qadimiy ibodatxonalaridan biridir. Milodiy 628-yilda tashkil etilgan bo'lib, u har yili uning boy tarixi, jonli muhiti va hayratlanarli arxitekturasini his qilish uchun millionlab tashrifchilarni jalb qiladi.
Afsonaga ko'ra, ikki baliqchi aka-uka Sumida daryosida Kannon – rahmlik ma'budasining haykalini topganlar. Haykalni daryoga bir necha marta qaytarishlariga qaramay, u doimo ularga qaytib kelavergan. Ibodatxona shu muqaddas tasvirni saqlash uchun qurilgan bo'lib, u shu kungacha jamoatchilik ko'zidan yashirilgan.
Ibodatxona majmuasiga mashhur Kaminarimon (Momoqaldiroq darvozasi), gavjum Nakamise savdo ko'chasi, go'zal besh qavatli pagoda va ta'sirchan asosiy zal kiradi.
