The origin of Eko-in Temple was that no-relation buddhism in Meireki Grand Flame was buried.

But few people have known it.

Eko-in Temple has been famous for Kanjn Sumo of spring and autumn and Nezumi Kozo Jirokichi's grave.

After Tenpo Era, Sumo was decided to take place in Eko-in Temple for each 10 days of spring and autumn.

So sumo wrestlers was said, "Ichinen wo hatsuka de kurasu ii otoko（日本語：1年を20日で暮らすいい男）/the good men who can make their living by only 20 days".

As the taste of people in Edo period, when they wanted to watch sumo in Eko-in Shrine, it was said they intended to walk across Shin-Ohashi Bridge and walk alongside Sumida River and walk across Ryogoku Bridge .

About 4 years ago, I walked the same way, but I was tired because of detouring.
