In the year 532, Buddhism arrived in Japan and took its place alongside Shintoism, the official religion. Prince Shotoku, fascinated by this new philosophy, commissioned Buddhist monks to construct a village with a grand garden featuring eight pagodas, known as 'tajuto.' He announced that once the fourth pagoda was completed, the village would become an important pilgrimage site for Buddhists worldwide. The monk who has achieved the highest level of spirituality at that moment will be named the "Great Guardian of the Sacred Garden of the Eight Pagodas" by the prince, overseeing all pilgrimages.
