History

Byakko

Emperor Kinmei, resting in Higurakura Sakawaikon, is recorded in history as the sovereign who brought Buddhism to Japan. The ancient soil I have watched over retains the vestiges of the era when Buddhism and Shinto first encountered each other. Under his noble rule, Japanese civilization flourished greatly.
