Its original site was in Yamashina, Yamashiro Province (present-day Kyoto). In 672, the temple was moved to Fujiwara-kyō, the first planned Japanese capital to copy the orthogonal grid pattern of Chang'an. In 710, the temple was dismantled for the second time and moved to its present location, on the east side of the newly constructed capital, Heijō-kyō, today's Nara.

Sarumen Chaseki
Sarumen Chaseki (猿面茶席) is a historic ''chashitsu'' located in Nagoya Castle, central Japan. Sarumen Chaseki and Bōgaku Chaseki are collectively called ''Sarumen Bōgaku Chaseki'' (猿面望嶽茶席).

The pillar on the right side of the ''tokonoma'', called ''toko-bashira'' (床柱), is made of wood, specially prepared for the purpose. At the upper part are two wood knots.

It was destroyed during the bombing of Nagoya in World War II. It was rebuilt in 1949 (Shōwa 24). The teahouse is used for various events and fun ...
