Sumiyoshi Shrine 1-1-14 Tsukuda, Chuo-ku, Tokyo

When you visit shrines in Tokyo, you are often surprised by the sacred places that have been protected by people.
Floods, fires, earthquakes, war damage, and materialism.
Small shrines, shrines on the rooftops of buildings, shrines directly under the highway.
Sacred places that are there for people in any form, and the guardians that protect them.
I made this video because I wanted to share these beautiful images.
Japanese landscapes and Japanese people of the past preserved in old photographs.
There is a Japan that seems to be forgotten. I really don't want to forget the forgotten Japan.
The photographs are around 100 years old, some are about 150 years old, and some are 85 years old.
Please feel the connection with people from the past.

When you visit shrines in Tokyo, you are often surprised to find sanctuaries that have been protected by the people.
Flood, fire, earthquake, war, and worship.
Small shrines, shrines perched on the rooftops of buildings, and shrines directly under expressways.
Sanctuaries that are close to people in any form, and the guardians who protect them.
I made this video to share these beautiful images with you!
The Japanese people of the past and the Japanese landscape that remains in old photographs.
There is a Japan there that seems to be forgotten. I really don't want to forget the forgotten Japan.
The photos are around 100 years old, some are about 150 years old and some are 85 years old.
Please feel the connection with the people of the past!

My name is Mayu Noda. Shrines and temples are mysterious sanctuaries where the more you know about them, the more you are struck by what you don't know. I will introduce the charm of shrines and temples around Tokyo, which I love. Sometimes temples too. If you found this video, you are a lucky person!
