Toshogu shrine - Ieyasu sanctuary
JAPAN, NIKKO - August 2012 - Toshogu Shrine is where the famous Shogun of the Edo Period in the 17th century, Tokugawa Ieyasu, was worshiped after his death. It became as luxurious and elaborate as it looks today when the grandson of Ieyasu, the third Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu, reconstructed it. The engravings on the Yomei-mon Gate are especially overwhelming, provided with every luxury imaginable and redolent in gorgeous colors. site calssified as Japanese Cultural property and world heritage by UNESCO [FR] Sanctuaire Toshogu - Construit en 1636 à la mémoire de Ieyasu, fondateur du shogunat Tokugawa.
