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.

Daddy smiled and said, “ that is my good boy. Don’t even want to leave your daddy’s Ripe socks on the floor. That’s the respect I love boy.” I then was told to clean his left foot. “Scrub these whitish paste out in my toenails. I want you to smell and place them in your mouth and let me see.” Daddy commented. It smelled and tasted like Brie cheese. Then I moved my tongue in between daddy’s toes. I cleaned up so well. Just thought I was finished. Daddy said,” the sole is clammy. It has nature feet oil after a whole day in the shoes, you think you finished fag. Keep working on that.” “I don’t wanna jack-off, dad.” He says flabbergasted to his dad as he turns off the tap to the hot and chilly water in the shower.

“I look forward to the day when you are a fully grown man, my son.” His father says. “I am anxious to see the fruit of my loins reach his fully-adorned manhood. Adulthood.” [url=https://arturzasada.pl/]polskie porno[/url]

“See this; see this. “His father says. “This is where power comes from.” “That your jockstrap on the floor next to you, son?” His dad asks.
His bare ass melts to the lid of the toilet bowl. He sweats from the steam and the exertions from his continued pounding of the fierceness of his cock. He wiggles as his ass opens, squeaking on the plastic surface of the thrown lid, as he takes whiffs from the cum soaked pouch of the jock that covers his face. “Do it!” His dad orders.
His father rakes the clear juice of his son’s leaking manhood over the boy’s tensed cockhead. “What are you now, son?”
“That your jockstrap on the floor next to you, son?” His dad asks. “I think all of us were sprouting wood, today, dad.” He says. “Coach even noticed how hard we all were.”

“I figured you did.” His father says. “You play on a team, so you know the purpose of teamwork.”

The sound of the shower echoes throughout the empty house. The bathroom door is open. He knows he has privacy. He is alone. No older brother. No father. Or mother. It is just him.

All the blood rushes from his brain to his throbbing erection plus the heat of the shower, making the young lad, light-headed.

“Nope.” He says. Flatly. As he runs his hand over his still steely-hard length of his curved cock.

“You know what you have to do. Doncha. Son.” His dad says.

“I knew ya couldn’t keep your hands off it.” His dad says. “Men can’t do it, we are drawn to our cocks, like a moth to a flame, and usually that burning sensation that a man feels is the cum boiling up in our balls. You know that feelin’ doncha son?”

He runs the towel through his curl-filled hair, and down over his chest, where the early signs of his manhood sprout like an uneven crop of hairs across his chest that run down to his furry-pillowed crotch. Where the throbbing from his hard-on springs back as the damp towel whips his erection back and forth with each swipe of the now dampened towel.

“That you, son?” A voice chimes in from the hallway.

“This is what a man looks like, son.” His father says as his pants fall to the floor. From his waist out pops his representation of a 40-year-old-man. And father of two teenage boys. His cock.
