Shitennō-ji (World Wonder) (BETA)
– Prince Shōtoku, Seventeen-article Constitution
Shi tennō-ji was built in 593 as the oldest officially-administered Buddhist temple in Japan. According to Nihon Shoki, when Prince Shōtoku, a supporter of Buddhism, fought against the anti-Buddhist Mononobe clan, he carved statues of the Four Heavenly Kings of Buddhism out of nurude (nutgall wood), and made a vow to build a temple to house the Four Heavenly Kings if he could defeat the Mononobe clan. The temple that was built after the victory was Shi tennō-ji, literally Temple of the Four Heavenly Kings. Shi tennō-ji was not only a symbol of the rooting of Buddhism in Japan as the state religion, but its symmetrical architectural pattern also profoundly influenced the architectural style of Buddhist temples in Japan. Shi tennō-ji has been destroyed and rebuilt in many natural and man-made disasters over the years, and now the temple has been reconstructed, in steel and concrete, to recreate the architecture of the Asuka Period.
