Description:
The temple of Asakusa (now known as Sanja Sama) dates back to 1649 (with the adoption of the cathedral code by Alexei Mikhailovich).
The temple has its own legend, which the people of Japan often retell from generation to generation.
Legend tells of two brothers who fished out of the water the statuette of the Canon in the river Sumida. But the brothers did not know what to do with it and turned to the landowner Haji, who took the statuette to the temple, telling the brothers a sermon about the Buddha.

Note: In 1945, during the Second World War, the temple withstood bombardment and was included in the list of cultural heritage of Japan!
