Japanese buddhist Pavilion in the forest of Koishikawa Korakuen

The Tokujin Pavilion was created in the 17th century on the initiative of Lord Tokugawa Mitsukuni, who at the age of 18 was impressed by the legendary Chinese stories of the Hakui and Shukusei brothers and decided to store wooden sculptures of their own. This building is the oldest of the temple and remains the only one to have survived multiple earthquakes and fires.
