Autumn leaves lighted up Jingo-ji in Kyoto, Japan 05
Japan
What is Jingo-ji Temple Jingo-ji Temple was founded by Wakeno Kiyomaro, a proponent of Heiansento (Moving of the Capital in 794 A.D. by Emperor Kanmu), in the northwest area of Kyoto in Takao-san Mountain as a place to pray for national peace. It is an extremely important temple in Japanese Buddhist history and was the place where Saicho (Founder of the Tendai sect) lectured the Lotus Sutra, and the temple which Kukai (Founder of the Shingon sect) managed for 14 years and made into a Konpondojo (Central and most important temple that unifies the sect). Later, it was devastated by fires in 994 and 1149, and suffered as well in conflict with an abdicated emperor who joined the Buddhist order. However, it was revived by Shingon sect priest Mongakushonin and his son, Jokaku and returned at a greater scale. During the Namboku period (1336-1392) it was again devastated by fire but was reconstructed during the Edo period (1603-1868) and prospers to this day as a Koyasan Shingonshu sect temple.

More About Japan

The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.Text by Steve Smith.
