LVIII - Tokyo
The temizu fountain in front of Benten-do (弁天堂) Temple, dedicated to the Buddhist goddess Benzaiten (弁才天), the goddess of everything that flows: water, words, speech and music. This worship hall is very appropriately located on a small island between the three sections of Shinobazu no Ike (不忍池 - "Shinobazu Pond"): Hasu no Ike (蓮の池 - "Lotus Pond"), Bōto no Ike (ボートの池 - "Boat Pond"), and U no Ike (鵜の池 - "Cormorant Pond").
