Tamukeyama Hachimangu
This is the shrine of the tutelary deities of Todaiji: It is said that when the Great Buddha of Todaiji was casted, the deities were summoned from Usa Hachiman shrine in Kyushu. In medieval times when the monks of the temple would march on the capital in protest, they would carry aloft the portable shrine (mikoshi) from Tamukeyama Hachiman with them. |
