Japanese old Capital city before Kyoto is Nara
(until AD784). Tokyo is capital from AD1869. From AD784 until AD1869 Kyoto is
capital city. In Japan, there is no law about capital city. So, some
Japanese persons say Kyoto is Capital yet. There is
many objections, but many Japanese think capital city is living place of
Japanese Emperor, yet. When capital moved to Kyoto from Nara,
government promulgated law for moving capital. But,
no law when capital move to Tokyo from Kyoto. They say, Emperor said " I will visit to Tokyo for a short while"
and Tokyo became capital city from then. But, since AD1603 Edo(old
name of Tokyo) was administrative center because Shogun(General) was living
in Edo. In AD1865 political power moved from Shogun to Emperor. After of 2nd World War, political power moved to a
nation, and then most Japanese think capital city is city has a legislative,
now. In AD645, Most powerful man
of Japanese government is Iruka Soga and his relations, not
Emperor. Prince Nakanooue and Kamatari Nakatomi assassinated
Iruka Soga and recapture power to Emperor. They discussed this assassination
plan at this shrine. This Pagoda is only one wooden thirteen storied
Pagoda in Japan and a national important
cultural property. This shrine is famous maple-viewing point. （maple-view）。 |
