Sengakuji, Tokyo

At first glance, it’s not as spectacular as other temples in Japan. However, it is well known as the grave for the 47 samurais that participated in the attack to avenge their lord Asano’s death whereby they were later sentenced to seppuku (hara-kiri). My visit to this 300 year old gravesite was a memorable one, with me burning incense sticks in order to pay respect to the samurais
