熊野神社 五重塔 | The Five-Storied Pagoda in Kumano Jinja

大鳥居信史氏(昭和46年(1971)に熊野神社宮司に就任、昭和62(1983)年に神田神社宮司に就任)が、平成21年(2009)に入手し奉納した銅製五重塔です。元禄・宝永年間(1700年前後)に三井本家の江戸屋敷内(現在の文京区立第三中学校)の庭園に建てたものと伝えられ、本体が5m、台座まで含めると7mの高さがあります。同種の五重塔には、徳川綱吉が法隆寺に寄進し、現在は東京国立博物館に収蔵されている宝永6年に鋳造された五重塔があります。細部彫刻も含め酷似していることから、同代の同工房作とみられ、両塔共に、総銅造り五重塔としては、日本一の高さとみられます。

It is a copper five-storied pagoda that Mr. Nobufumi Otorii (appointed as the priest of Kumano Jinja in 1971 and appointed as the priest of Kanda Jinja in 1983) obtained and dedicated in 2009. It's said that it's built in the garden of the Edo Yashiki (mansion) of the Mitsui head family (where currently is Bunkyo City Third Junior High School) during the Genroku and Hoei period (around 1700). Its main body height is 5m, and 7m height including the pedestal. The same type of five-storied pagoda is that was built in Hoei 6th by Tokugawa Shogun Tsunayoshi, he donated it to Horyuji Temple, It is now stored in the Tokyo National Museum. Because they are very similar, including detailed sculptures, they are considered to have been made by the same studio of the same generation, and both towers are considered to be the tallest five-storied pagoda made of copper in Japan.
