Sengyō-ji, Buddhist temple in Minami-Ikebukuro, Japan.
The temple features an eight-story concrete building with a 4.6-meter-high wooden Buddha statue weighing 1.5 tonnes at its center.
Established in 1908, Sengyō-ji belongs to the Nichiren sect of Buddhism and stands as a testament to religious evolution in urban Tokyo.
The temple maintains over 5000 graves within its grounds, representing modern burial practices in Tokyo's urban environment.
Located at 2-20-4 Minami-Ikebukuro, the temple welcomes visitors within a ten-minute walking distance from Ikebukuro Station.
The central Buddha statue creates an optical illusion, appearing to float in mid-air while being secured from behind.
