zipangu

Well，west of joudo-daira is Hourai mountain.
　
North of joudo-daira，there was "issaikyou" mountain.　
"Issaikyou" translated to english become ”The complete Buddhist scriptures”.
Incidentally，this mountain is the active volcano.
　
・・・・・・・・・

The mid-eleventh century，there was a man named Abeno-sadato on this land.
Era he was alive, there was a great revolt here.　
　
He battled as a member of the rebel，and eventually dead by defeat.

By the way，when seen that revolt from the center government of Japan.
Of course that was revolt.

But that revolt was a struggle to gain autonomy from their perspective.
(I think that revolt wasn't a struggle for independence)

At that time，people of this land called "emishi". (Is not a race)
They had been exploited as people who were conquered.

・・・・・・・・・

Well, this struggle had became failed.
But immediately after that，kingdom had established in this land.
This kingdom lasted a hundred years.　

"Golden Island Zipangu"
　
Later，impression left by this kingdom was introduced so to the West by Marco Polo of Italian merchant.

・・・・・・・・・

Well，going back to.

"Abeno-sadato was filled the complete Buddhist scriptures on this mountain"

There is its legend，and it has become the origin of the name of this mountain.
　
　
pure land
elixir of life
the complete Buddhist scriptures

Since ancient times，this land is "area" like that?
