TO THE SKY
The five-story pagoda of the Asakusa Senso-ji Temple, stands high into the clear winter sky. It represents the Five Elements of Buddhism philosophy: The ground level is Earth, the 2nd floor is Water, then Fire, Wind, and the top floor is Sky, and it is said to store part of Buddha’ ashes.
Tens of thousands of people visit Senso-ji every day, but the bustle dies away at night and the air of holy presence prevails.
It’s been burnt and rebuilt several times since the 10th century, but standing there in darkness before this austere structure, you feel something that surpasses the passage of time or anything that we wisely created.
