Fukuji-in

In the afternoon we visited Fukuji-in with Professor Shimizu. This is a small temple in the Asakusa area of Tokyo where Keido Chisan Koho Zenji was resident priest during World War 2 - when the original temple was destroyed in 1945 - and which he worked to rebuild.

At Fukuji-in we met the present resident priest - Rev. Noguchi - and together we held a short service at Keido Chisan's memorial tablet in the cemetery, which was just a short hop across the road. We did a second memorial for Koho Zenji' mother and parents of Professor Shimizu. Fukuju-in is Professor Shimizu's family temple.
