Sensō-ji is an ancient Buddhist temple located in Asakusa, Taitō, Tokyo, Japan. It is Tokyo's oldest temple, and one of its most significant.
Formerly associated with the Tendai sect, it became independent after World War II. Adjacent to the temple is a Shinto shrine, the Asakusa Shrine.
The temple is dedicated to the bodhisattva Kannon (Avalokitesvara). According to legend, a statue of the Kannon was found in the Sumida River in 628 by two fishermen, the brothers Hinokuma Hamanari and Hinokuma Takenari. The chief of their village, Hajino Nakamoto, recognized the sanctity of the statue and enshrined it by remodeling his own house into a small temple in Asakusa, so that the villagers could worship the Kannon.
The first temple was founded in 645 C.E., which makes it the oldest temple in Tokyo. In the early years of the Tokugawa shogunate, Tokugawa Ieyasu designated Sensō-ji as tutelary temple of the Tokugawa clan.
The Nishinomiya Inari Shrine is located within the precincts of Sensō-ji; and a torii identifies the entry into the hallowed ground of a Shinto shrine. A bronze plaque on the gateway structure lists those who contributed to the construction of the torii, which was erected in 1727.
During World War II, the temple was bombed and destroyed. It was rebuilt later and is a symbol of rebirth and peace to the Japanese people. In the courtyard there is a tree that was hit by a bomb in the air raids, and it had regrown in the husk of the old tree and is a similar symbol to the temple itself.
Dominating the entrance to the temple is the Kaminarimon or "Thunder Gate".
This imposing Buddhist structure features a massive paper lantern dramatically painted in vivid red-and-black tones to suggest thunderclouds and lightning.
Beyond the Kaminarimon is Nakamise-dori with its shops, followed by the Hōzōmon or "Treasure House Gate" which provides the entrance to the inner complex.
The Nakamise-dori shops themselves are part of a living tradition of selling to pilgrims who walked to Sensō-ji.
Within the temple itself, and also at many places on its approach, there are omikuji stalls. A suggested donation of 100 yen, will buy an omikuji (fortune written on a small piece of paper). You place the money in an honour box and shake a small cylinder containing sticks with numbers written on them. Shake the cylinder until one of the sticks falls out and pull your fortune from a drawer with the corresponding number. If your fortune is bad, tie the paper onto a nearby string so that the wind can disperse the bad luck.
In the temple forecourt is an incense burner. Here you will usually see a group of visitors fanning smoke from the burning incense over themselves. The incense is believed to have healing powers, and so fanning the smoke over your ailment will help to heal it. If you suffer from headache, fan some of the smoke over your head.
Within the temple is a quiet contemplative garden kept in the distinctive Japanese style.
Within the precincts stand a stately five-story pagoda and the main hall, devoted to Kannon Bosatsu.
When cutting the wood to shape the Palo Santo sticks, sawdust is created. This wood dust is then used to make incense shaped cones. The process goes like this: The sawdust is carefully sifted to remove any larger pieces. Then it is mixed with “moyuyo” (a shrub fruit that is used as glue) and Palo Santo aromatic water. Throughout the process everything is used, there is no waste product.
-------------------------------------
Al cortar la madera para dar forma a los Palitos de Palo Santo, se crea un residuo (aserrín) que se utiliza para elaborar los inciensos en forma de Conitos. El aserrín se cierne y se mezcla con moyuyo y agua aromática de Palo Santo. En este proceso todo se aprovecha, no hay producto de desecho.

Incense made without harming the Palo Santo tree. We only process wood that has been found to have died naturaly in the forest. Tree grows for about 40 years and then dies. Then, it has to lay down for about 10 more years before we can process it.
The Palosanto (Bursera Graveolens) is a tree from the Ecuadorian dry forestes which was used by Chamans to cure many diseases; this is the reason why the Spanish that settled here call the tree "Santo".
If we think of the body like a house where we live, we can take into consideration the ancient rituals based on Palo Santo as the ancient peoples lacked knowledge of illnesses which to them were all products of bad energy.
Palo Santo (Bursera Graveolens) is an aromatic wood; Its smoke is used as a repellent to keep off mosquitoes, ants and other insects. It also cleans and help to remove the bad energy from the home, keep away evil spirits, induces meditation and spiritual search. The scent of Palo Santo is extremely soothing and transmits a powerful energy.

Another inseparable feature of any Chinese or Taoist temple is the larger than life incense burner set at the entrance. This one was rather luxurious looking, compared to the black ones I'd seen all over Hong Kong in Feb 2012. No I don't remember whether I was in a hurry, or due to my D90 not having a 100% field of vision, or what I was thinking at that time, but I cannot remember why I shot this off centre.(Kota Kinabalu, East Malaysia, Nov. 2013)

Incense burners (Greek thymiateria) were important cult implements throughout the ancient Mediterranean world. This South Italian terracotta example of the second half of the 4th century BCE is exceptionally complex and rare: five women crowned with flowers are shown around a wellhead. The iconography reflects a local cult, probably that of Demeter and Kore who were widely worshipped in Southern Italy and Sicily at the time.
Each of the women carries different objects: a phiale (libation bowl), a pomegranate, a mirror, a skein of wool, a bird, et al.

Kinryū-zan Sensō-ji (金龍山浅草寺), or Sensō-ji, also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple, is a Buddhist temple—the oldest temple in Tokyo. Legend says that in the year 628, the brothers Hinokuma Hamanari and Hinokuma Takenari, two fisherman, found a statue dedicated to the bodhisattva Kannon, also known as Guan Yin or the Goddess of Mercy, out of the Sumida River. Even though they put the statue back into the river, it always returned to them. Their master, Hajino Nakamoto, recognizing the sanctity of the statue, enshrined it in his house, and then in 645 the holy man Shokai built the first temple on this location. In the early years of the Tokugawa shogunate, Tokugawa Ieyasu designated Sensō-ji as tutelary temple of the Tokugawa clan. During World War II, the temple was bombed and for the most part, destroyed. It was rebuilt later and is a symbol of rebirth and peace to the Japanese people.
