It was built in 1883 by Tesshu Yamaoka, a shogunate retainer, to mourn those who died in the Boshin War and other battles, whether in the government or shogunate forces, at the end of the Edo period and at the time of the Meiji Restoration. Within the grounds is the graveyard of rakugo storyteller Sanyutei Encho, who was a friend of Tesshu, and the temple also houses a large collection of ghost paintings that Encho collected during his lifetime. Every year in August, the anniversary of Encho&#8217;s death, events such as rakugo performances are held and the ghost paintings are open to the public, making it a must-see.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"js-way\"><span class=\"ja\"><span>Spot Outline<\/span><\/span><span class=\"en\">Outline<\/span><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>address (e.g. of house)<\/th>\n<td>\n5-4-7 Yanaka, Taito-ku, Tokyo<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Access<\/th>\n<td>\n10 minutes walk from Sendagi Subway Station<\/p>\n<div class=\"elem-sec_01 mrg-style_21\"><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">phone<\/th>\n<td><a class=\"link-style_02\" href=\"tel:03-3821-4715\">03-3821-4715<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Business Hours<\/th>\n<td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t9:00\uff5e17:00\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">regular closing day<\/th>\n<td>\nnashi (Pyrus pyrifolia, esp. var. culta)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">External Links<\/th>\n<td>\n<p><a class=\"link-style_03\" href=\"https:\/\/zenshoan.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Official Web Site<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Founding and opening of business<\/th>\n<td>\n1883 (16th year of Meiji)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"temple (Buddhist)Ueno, Yanaka, Nippori Zenjoan (Yanaka, Tokyo)\uff08Zenshoan-Temple) Imperial CourtYamaoka Tesshughost picturerakugo Zenjoan is a temple of the Kokutaiji school of the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism.
