A temple in Yura that somehow moves me by its place name. It is said that this temple had a great influence on the history of Japanese cuisine and music, but the temple, which was simply rebuilt in the Edo period, is so cool that I can't help but admire it. It is said that it was originally built by Keirin Katsurayama, a retainer of Sanetomo, the Kamakura Minister of the Right, who died suddenly, to mourn his lord's body, and within the precincts there is a stone monument with a poem written by Sanetomo about this area (Kanae Wakashu, Akibe 184).
The chief priest of Keirin was Horto Kokushi, who had returned from the Song Dynasty and was said to have brought Kinzanji miso, which became the basis for soy sauce. However, it seems that this person studied abroad at Jiashan Temple in Hangzhou, and not at Jinshan Temple, a famous temple in Zhenjiang. confusing. That said, I think the vegetation in Hangzhou is similar to Japan.
Nowadays, when it comes to soy sauce, Yuasa, which is about 8km to the north, is popular, but there was a notice in a soy sauce museum in Yuasa that said that this was because the disciple, Kakusho-ni, who taught the making method himself, was from Yuasa, but the truth is unknown. Nowadays, I am surrounded by mandarin orange fields, and it is so relaxing to walk up the slope from the station, and I am really excited about the unbelievable price of mandarin oranges.
Other than that, Tengu-do's huge Tengu mask and mountain worship seem to have been syncretized, so in short, it's a temple with too many different things, but if you look behind the closed wall, you might think it's from the Edo period. There is a fun-filled garden, but visitors are not allowed to view it.
