This monument, in the heavily forested park across from the New Otani Hotel, memorializes the assassination of Toshimichi Okubo (1830 – 1878). Okubo was a samurai who became a leader of Japan's Meiji Restoration (which overthrew the shogunate and set Japan on its modernization course) -- accomplishments which lead to his assassination here by a group of disaffected samurai.

Built in 1956 and designed by Czech-born architect Antonin Raymond, a protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright who came to Japan to assist Wright on the construction of the Imperial Hotel in the 1920s but stayed in Japan and carved out his own pioneering practice. Here, Raymond experimented with the structural use of folded concrete plates, and produced an unprecedented smoothness through the use of metal-plate formwork. His wife and collaborator Noemi Raymond worked on the design of the interior.

The small neighborhood temple (with attached cemetery), just down the street from my apartment, not far from Musashi-Nakahara station. It's called Anraku-ji (安楽寺), but beyond that, I don't know.
