San'en-zan Zōjō-ji temple Minato Tokyo Japan video by Arif Herekar
San'en-zan Zōjō-ji (三縁山増上寺 San'en-zan Zōjō-ji?) is a Buddhist temple in the Shiba neighborhood of Minato, Tokyo, Japan. It is the Great Main Temple of the Chinzei branch of Jōdo-shū Buddhism. The main image is of Amida Buddha. The founder of Zōjō-ji was Yūyo ShōsōShūei (宗叡, 809-884), a disciple of Kūkai, founded a temple named Kōmyō-ji (光明寺) at Kaizuka (貝塚, present-day Kōjimachi in Chiyoda, Tokyo); it is said to be the forerunner of Zōjō-ji. Centuries later, in 1393 during the Muromachi period, at the time of Yūyo Shōsō, the temple converted from the Shingon to the Jōdo school. Shōsō is thus the founder of the present-day temple.
Together with Kan'ei-ji, during the Edo period Zōjō-ji was the Tokugawa's family temple. Tokugawa Ieyasu had the temple moved, first to Hibiya, then in 1590, at the time of expansion of Edo Castle, to its present location.
With the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate, the grounds took on the character of a public park. The temple was badly damaged in World War II, but still retains the air of a major temple.

ライブハウス化する寺、決め手は音響 祈って拝んで聴く
本堂に響くのはお経ではなく、ギターやドラム――。ライブが開かれる寺がある。岡山市北区の繁華街にある臨済宗「蔭凉寺」。築約３００年の本堂に続々と観客が集まってきた。
約３０脚のいすが埋まり、照明が落とされた。登場したのはのこぎり奏者のサキタハヂメさんとピアニストの林正樹さん。サキタさんがミュージカルソー（演奏用のこぎり）をたわませると、鳥のさえずりのような音が響いた。林さんのピアノが重なり、心地よいハーモニーが堂内を包んだ。
客席の後方で音響機材を操作しているのは１５代目住職の篠原真祐さん。独学で音響を勉強し、１９９９年から音楽イベントなどに寺を開放している。
篠原さんは「土壁は音を吸収しやすい。木材も乾燥していて音の響きにもムラがない」と話す。「今までで一番良い会場だった」と喜ぶ音楽家もいたという。
