The former Jisho-in Otamaya mausoleum (旧自証院霊屋) stands as a testament to Japanese history and architectural craftsmanship. Erected in 1652, this beautiful structure was commissioned by Princess Chiyo, the wife of Mitsumoto Tokugawa, a prominent feudal lord of the Owari Domain. It was built to honor her deceased mother, Ofuri-no-Kata, who was the wife of the third shogun, Iemitsu Tokugawa.
Delve a bit deeper into this building’s history spanning centuries from 1652 to 1995 at my blog (link in Profile). Links to Google Maps and to source materials are also available. Estimated read time is 2-3 minutes.
Awesome! Thanks for posting.
