Tokudai-ji, Buddhist temple in Ameya-Yokocho, Ueno, Japan.
The temple building stands near the commercial district with its red walls and traditional wooden architecture featuring Buddhist symbols and ornaments.
Established during the Edo period around 1653 by Nichige, the temple preserved its original Marishi-ten statue through multiple natural disasters and wartime events.
The temple houses one of Japan's three main Marishi-ten deities, which draws visitors seeking protection, success, and good fortune through regular prayers.
The temple welcomes visitors daily and conducts special ceremonies on the Days of the Boar, with main prayer sessions scheduled at specific times.
The temple displays a statue of Marishi-ten standing on a running boar, holding a sword in the right hand while raising the left hand.
