Tōeizan Kan'ei-ji Endon-in is a Tendai Buddhist temple in Tokyo, Japan, founded in 1625 during the Kan'ei era by Tenkai, in an attempt to emulate the powerful religious center Enryaku-ji, in Kyoto.
//
The temple resides in Ueno Park, where we stayed during our time in Tokyo for the duration of the artist residency. I would return some time later after the residency to explore the area further. At night it feels so alive with the lights generating this reddish tint as if its charging its energy to ward off evil spirits as intended from its original creator.
