History
The elegant form of the octagonal hall has remained unchanged through thirteen centuries, making Eisan-ji a testament to enduring architecture and faith. The Hokke-do, enshrining Fujiwara Kamatari, served as a center of power and belief in ancient Nara. The depth of its history and architectural beauty continue to quietly move the hearts of all who visit this sacred sanctuary.
