Ataruma-ji
日本、〒639-0276 奈良県葛城市當麻１２６３
An ancient temple renowned for the faith in the Ataruma Mandala and the legend of Princess Chujōhime. It is also the only temple in Japan where both the East and West pagodas remain.
History
According to tradition, the temple was founded in 612 CE (Suiko 20) by Prince Ataruma (also known as Maruko-ō). It is a temple where the Shingon and Jodo sects coexist, and it is famous for the Ataruma Mandala and the legend of Princess Chujōhime. The two three-story pagodas, the East Pagoda and the West Pagoda, built between the Nara period and the early Heian period, make this the only temple in Japan where both the East and West pagodas have survived.
