A temple with its past set to the future

One of the most strikingly contradictory temples to be found in Tokyo, Fukagawa Fudo-do Temple in Koto City is a neighbourhood not only famous for its like-clockwork esoteric Goma fire ritual but also for its radical sense of the modern.

Established in the eighteenth century, the temple serves an esoteric branch of Shingon Buddhism. The previous main hall of the temple still exits but it is the current main hall that quickly grabs the visitor's attention.

Strikingly modern in design, if you bring to mind a chic boutique storefront from upmarket Omotesando in Harajuku, you may understand.

Three times a month sees the temple staging the Goma fire ritual. Every two hours from 9am to 7pm, a fire is lit, monks chant their ancient sutras, drums are beaten and conch shells sounded in a traditional effort to empower Fudo-myo, the wrathful Buddhist deity entrusted to cut a clear path to awareness and understanding.

Enclosed by a darkness livened only by primeval fire and the sounds of the faithful, the Goma fire ritual stands in complete contrast to the temple's prayer corridor. Brightly lit with modern technology, an almost psychedelic 9500 miniature crystal statues of Fudo-myo are lined up on either side of the room.

The room next door is full of rows and rows of seated Fudo-myo statues carved from, well, wood. The deity's customary fierce countenance is noted but to confuse the expectant even further, upstairs on the second floor can be found an almost sci-fi distilled version of the 88 temples of the Shikoku Pilgrimage.

The Goma fire ritual may indicate a rich past but the temple's modern leanings suggest Fukagawa Fudo-do Temple clearly has its eyes set on the 21st century and beyond.
 

Getting there

Take the Tozai Line to Monzen-Nakacho Station. The temple is a 2-minute walk from Exit 1.
