*''Japanese'': 木母寺 ''(Mokuboji)''
Mokuboji is a Buddhist temple on the banks of the [[Sumidagawa]] in eastern Tokyo. It is known as the site of the Umewaka-tsuka, a burial mound supposedly containing the remains of Umewaka, a young boy kidnapped and killed by slavers - a story which forms the backstory of the [[Noh]] play ''[[Sumidagawa (Noh)|Sumidagawa]]''. The temple was a notable ''[[meisho]]'' (famous place) throughout the [[Edo period]] for this.
The temple was abolished in [[1888]] as part of the anti-Buddhist ''[[haibutsu kishaku]]'' policy of the [[Meiji government]], and the site came to be known as Umewaka Shrine. However, the temple was re-established the following year.
