Ueno Toshogu Shrine
Made by patrusche9672
The name Toshogu is a royal title. Literally translated, Toshogu means Light of the East or Sun god of the east. Toshogu shrines were built accordingly throughout the country, often adjoining important temples or sites that had a family or personal connection with Tokugawa Ieyasu. There are about 200 Toshogu shrines in Japan, each built to enshrine Ieyasu as a deity. By the time the Ueno Toshogu in Tokyo was re-built in 1651 it could be said that it was for the convenience of the daimyo(feudal lords), who under the sankin-kotai system were by now required to spend 6 months of each year (or alternate periods for some daimyo) in Edo, and expected to pay homage to the founder of the regime.
