Yagenbori Fudōin (薬研堀不動院)
One of the major Fudō Myōō temples of Tokyo and a branch of Kawasaki Daishi Heikenji, a major Shingon temple in Kawasaki. The main object of veneration here is a Fudō statue from the 12th century which was brought to Edo in 1585 after the temple it was in was burned down in a battle. As the statue was carried in a wicker box the statue came to be called the Tsuzura Fudō Myōō, that is "Fudō Myōō in a wicker box" The temple itself is on a small plot of land and shaped like a pagoda with a long stairway leading to it.
