The Yamashina no Misasagi tomb of Emperor Tenji, located in a quiet residential area of Kyoto, exudes a quiet presence. Its vastness covers an area of 1,500 square meters, and its historical value is such that it is even mentioned in the "Manyoshu" poetry anthology. The magnificent tomb tells the story of the greatness of Emperor Tenji, who sought to build a centralized state. Stepping inside, one is enveloped in a silence that feels like a different world.
