Meguro Fudō is a Fudō hall of Taiei-zan Ryūzen-ji, a temple of the Tendai Buddhist sect.
The worship of Fudō (the Buddhist deity Acala) had been fluorishing among common people since the Edo period,
and Meguro Fudō became one of the most popular destinations for pilgrims
as well as those seeking entertainment near Edo.
The temple town was always full of visitors.
This was one of the 江戸の三冨 'Edo-Santomi', three shrines that sold official shogunate 富くじ tomikuji tickets (lottery in the Edo period).
