History
In the deep mountains of Ohara, two imperial mausoleums stand in solemn repose. Though both emperors faced adversity during turbulent times, their divine spirits continue to watch over Kyoto. For centuries, poets and scholars have visited this sacred site, moved by the tragedy and nobility enshrined in their celestial virtue.
