(143) Kasuisai itself

I just realized that I’ve been writing about Kasuisai for a few days now but haven’t yet posted a picture of it! Here’s one with the disclaimer that it is not exactly illustrative since Kasuisai is a complex containing tens of structures; as would be expected by a temple that was under the protection of the Tokugawa family, the most powerful shoguns in Japanese history.
