Notes
While the pond has always been named Senzoku, its name originally came from the Chinese characters “thousand” (千 sen) and “bundle” (束 zoku). After the famous Buddhist priest Nichiren Shonin washed his feet here on his way to Ikegami Temple the characters changed to honor his visit. It is still pronounced Senzoku (sen or 洗=wash, zoku or 足=foot).
