The gold paper, " gohei, " at the back of the oratory, and a circular mirror, were the only ornaments left, the Buddhist paraphernalia of bells, gongs, prayer books, lotus flowers, ( 268 ) incense burners, etc. , having been removed when the Shinto form of worship was introduced. To reach leyasu's tomb, after leaving the beautiful oratory, one ascends a moss grown gallery and several steep flights, about 200 steps altogether, up the hill behind, to a paved courtyard, in the centre of which stan...ds the tomb, shaped like a small pagoda. It is made of a single bronze casting of a light colour, produced by the admixture of gold. In front stood a low stone table, bearing an immense bronze stork, with a brass candle in its mouth, an incense burner of bronze, and a vase with artificial lotos, flowers and leaves in brass. The whole is surrounded by a balustrade ; the entrance to the enclosure, being by a large bronze gate, not exposed to the open. The whole tomb is very impressive ; and surrounded as these temples are, by magnificent cedars and ( 269 ) cryptomerias, the whole neighbourhood is singularly appropriate for purposes of worship.
