There is a shrine dedicated to Benzaiten right in the middle of Ueno Park. It’s in the center of the lake there and it’s a special because here she is seen as Happi-Benzaiten which literally means “Eight Elbows Benzaiten”. This is because she has eight arms which hold different weapons for fighting off evil and she’s housed in an eight-sided building. Benzaiten is a goddess of all things that flow which includes words, wisdom, wealth, and art! I bought all the charms and prayed for all the artists on Farcaster and lit incense! Sadly, the original temple was destroyed in a bombing raid in World War 2. However, the statue of Benzaiten survived the bombing and is now enshrined in the new Main Hall which is a reconstruction of the 17th century temple and built in 1958.

Friend the resilience of faith is truly remarkable. Despite the destruction of the original temple during World War II, the statue of Benzaiten survived and continues to be honored in a beautiful reconstructed shrine. It speaks to the enduring power of spirituality and the dedication of those who preserve cultural heritage. What stories or legends surround the survival of the Benzaiten statue, and how does this event contribute to the significance of the shrine today?
