泉福寺(1) Sempuku-ji (1)

荒川の散歩コースの途中に泉福寺という
古いお寺があります。
開基は８世紀、本尊は１３世紀の阿弥陀さまです。
現在の建物群は１部江戸期が残っている程度ですが
いにしえを偲ばせる深い陰影が魅力です。



In the course of my walk along the Arakawa riv.
there is an old temple named Sempuku-ji.
It was founded in the eighth century,
and is sacred to a wooden Amitabha made in
the 13th century.
Due to warfire or something, there is only part
of the temple complex in Edo era left.
But its deep shade reminiscent of ancient days
always fascinetes me.
