七味唐辛子 (5311706915)
, also known as or simply ''shichimi'', is a common Japanese cuisine, Japanese spice mixture containing seven ingredients. Tōgarashi is the Japanese name for ''Capsicum annuum'' peppers, and it is this ingredient that makes shichimi spicy. Etymology "Shichi" means seven, "mi" means flavor, and "togarashi" is the red chili pepper ''Capsicum annuum''. The blend is also called nanami togarashi. In the United States, shichimi is sometimes referred to as "Nanami." Both names translate to "seven flavors," but "Nanami" is often used in branding for ease of pronunciation among English speakers. While "shichi" and "nana" are two pronunciations of the same character (七) and both mean "seven" in Japanese, "nana" has a more familiar sound in English, leading to the alternative name. Ingredients A typical blend may contain: * coarsely ground red chili pepper (the main ingredient) * ground Zanthoxylum piperitum, sanshō ("Japanese pepper") * roasted Orange (fruit), orange peel (chen ...

Zenkō-ji
is a Buddhism, Buddhist temple located in the city of Nagano, Nagano, Nagano, Japan. The temple was built in the 7th century. It is one of the few remaining pilgrimage sites in Japan. The modern city of Nagano began as a town built around the temple. Zenkō-ji was founded before Buddhism in Japan split into several different sects. It currently belongs to both the Tendai and Jodo Shu, Jōdoshū schools of Mahayana Buddhism, and is co-managed by twenty-five priests from the former school, and fourteen from the latter. The temple enshrines images of the Amitabha, Amida Buddha. According to legend, the image, having caused dispute between two clans, was dumped into a canal. It was later rescued by Honda Yoshimitsu. The temple was thus named "Zenkō," according to the Chinese transliteration of Yoshimitsu's name. The main Buddhist image is a ''hibutsu (secret Buddha)'', a hidden Buddha statue, not shown to the public. This ''hibutsu'' is rumored to be the first Buddha statue to ev ...

Kiyomizu-dera
is a Buddhist temple located in eastern Kyoto, Japan. The temple is part of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto UNESCO World Heritage Site. History The temple was established in 778, during the late Nara period, by Enchin Shonin, who was a priest from Nara (the capital of Japan from 710 to 784). He is said to have received a vision telling him to construct the temple next to the Otowa spring. In 798, the shogun Sakanoue Tamuramaro improved the site by including a large hall that was reassembled from the palace of Emperor Kammu (r. 781–806). The emperor had left Nara to escape the strong influence that the Buddhist monasteries had on the government there. During this period there was a strong rivalry between the Kofuku-ji and the Kiyomizu-dera temples, and both had influence around the region. Many of the temple's present buildings were constructed in 1633 on the orders of the shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu. There is not a single nail used in the entire structure. It t ...

Perilla Frutescens Var
''Perilla'' is a genus consisting of one major Asiatic crop species ''Perilla frutescens'' and a few wild species in nature belonging to the mint family, Lamiaceae. The genus encompasses several distinct varieties of Asian herb, seed, and vegetable crop, including '' P. frutescens'' (deulkkae) and ''P. frutescens'' var. ''crispa'' (shiso). The genus name ''Perilla'' is also a frequently employed common name ("perilla"), applicable to all varieties. Perilla varieties are cross-fertile and intra-specific hybridization occurs naturally. Some varieties are considered invasive. Taxa and synonyms The classification of ''Perilla'' is confused, partly because botanists struggled with distinguishing the two distinct cultigens as different species or variations. Until a few decades ago, ''P. frutescens'' var. ''crispa'' was regarded as a species in its own right, distinct from ''P. frutescens'', although it was well established that these types readily cross-pollinate. An early exa ...
