Was walking past a park in Arakawa the other day and came across this interesting statue.

I think the name is read as Honda Takatomo (本田 貴侶) but it was difficult to find any information. I kept finding stuff showing the same statue but instead of "聖なるもののリピドー" they all show "聖なるもののリビドー"

I'm not sure what the differences are though.
Perhaps there are multiple statues in different locations?
All the ones I saw referred to this statue in Arakawa though so maybe there's a misprint or something?

Also I'm not sure what "リピドー" or "リビドー" means, but if anyone has any idea about what the statue's meaning is I'd love to hear it!

Either way it's a nice looking statue. I always enjoy finding things like this around different parts of Japan, they really add to the atmosphere of the city.

Decided to donate some clothes I wasn't wearing anymore over the weekend so I decided to go to the Second Street in Minami-Senju. Managed to find some cool stuff along the way. I was walking from Minowabashi and saw this nice looking temple, apparently called Koshunin (公春院). It was a really lovely spot and I would have liked to take more photos but I had some luggage with me and also wanted to avoid taking any photos of the tombstones as I thought it might be rude. It seems the temple focus on memorial services though and looked like a nice place. The next spot I came across was just a really small shrine that seemed so randomly placed that I wanted to take a picture of it. There wasn't much space inside the shrine are so it was quite difficult to get a decent photo, but I did the best that I could and tried to take a photo from the side street next to it which was also incredibly narrow lol. The last thing I ended up finding was a statue of Matsuo Basho! I'd not been to Minami-Senju as I've never really had a reason to go there, but I saw the statue from the corner of my eye and thought "Hmm I wonder if that's Basho" and sure enough it was. It even has "The Narrow Road to the Deep North" (奥の細道) written below it. Also, apparently there is debate about which "Senju" he started at (Adachi or Arakawa), so this is one of the statues depicting the place where he started his journey! It ended up being a pretty interesting walk. I'd like to visit the area again as there was a ton of cool stuff.

先日は書けるスペースが足りなかったのですが、先日西大宮の福田稲荷神社を訪れた後、駅に帰る途中タイの小さなレストラン「マンゴーツリーカフェ」というカフェに立ち寄りました。 私たちはすでに食べていたので、私たちはただ座って、すべての歩みからリラックスして、寒さから休憩を取りたいと思いました。冷凍ドリンクとマンゴーアイスクリームを注文しました。私はアイスクリームが最高だったと思うが、私はそれの写真を得られなかった。 私はスイカの冷凍ジュースを注文し、それはかなり素晴らしかったですが、彼らは私が「ブルーティー」または「バタフライエンドフラワーティーアデ」(笑)を意味すると思う「マナオナード」(アンド・アンド・オオド)と呼ばれるものを持っていました。 それは私が推測するハーブティーの一種ですが、それは面白いようでした.私はそれを得ることを検討していたが、私は前にそれを聞いたことがなかったので、安全な側にとどまり、ちょうどスイカを手に入れることにしました。 この場所は東京の他の場所とチェーンレストランだと知っているから、今度は試してみるでしょう。プラス私は本当にタイ料理を食べることはありませんので、変化を試してみるのは何か素晴らしいことです
