A statue of Shinran is installed outside Tsukiji Hongan-ji in Tokyo, Japan. It was donated by Seiichi Hirose (広瀬精一) who started to donate Shinran statues all across Japan in 1937 after losing his child and finding comfort in Shinran's teachings.{{cite web|url=https://www.zengyou.net/shinran/%E3%83%AC%E3%82%B8%E3%82%A7%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%E5%BA%83%E7%80%AC%E7%B2%BE%E4%B8%80/ |title=レジェンド広瀬精一 |date= 2024-06-10}}{{cite web|url=https://www.zengyou.net/shinran/?p=1597 |title=旅姿のはじまり(大阪・天王寺)|date=2024-02-06}}
