Eastern Paradise of Yakushi Nyorai Joruri ji Temple
Joruriji Temple was founded by priest Gimyo. This is a Shingon Ritsu sect temple with icons of Amida-Nyorai and Yakushi-Nyorai. According to temple records, it was first founded in 1047 as Nishi Odawaraji Temple, and was designed to express the pure land Jodo that all nobles longed to be guided to in their afterlives. A Jodo-style garden is located around the pond, where beautiful views of flowers throughout the year can be seen as well as colored leaves in autumn. Most temple buildings were destroyed during the period of the northern and southern dynasties (1336-1392), but the main hall (built in 1107) and three-storied pagoda survived, designated as national treasures. The main hall holds nine seated wooden images of the Amida-nyorai-zazo Buddha (national treasure), giving the temple a second name Kutaiji (Temple of the Nine Images). Its bewitching secret statue, Kissho-ten image, which is believed to have been made in the 13th century and designated as an important cultural asset of Japan, is opened to the public only in January, spring, and autumn each year. The three-tiered pagoda rising above a dense forest as if piercing the sky, and the elegant scenery of Aji-ike Pond reflecting off the main hall, provide people of the modern age with a look at Fujiwara Culture.
The pond was dug in 1150 by priests from Kōfuku-ji. On either side of the pond are stone lanterns dating to 1366, which are classified as Important Cultural Properties by the Japanese government. Beginning in 1976 the garden was restored to its original form by the landscape architect Mori Osamu.
The garden of Joruri-ji, located in the town of Kamo near the ancient capital of Nara, is a Pure Land garden (jodoshiki) intended to evoke the Western Paradise of Amida Buddha. As a religious foundation, it dates back to the eleventh century, but the main hall is an early twelfth-century structure, and was moved to its present location in 1157 (its original location is unknown). It was at that time that the pond garden located to the east of the hall was constructed by a priest of nearby Kofuku-ji. Two decades later, a pagoda originally erected in Kyoto was moved to the steep hillside on the eastern shore of the pond. As reconstructed on the evidence of archaeological discoveries made in 1976, the pond contains an elongated island connected to the southern shore by a long stone bridge, and a prominent peninsula on the eastern shore. When it was excavated in 1976, the island and the peninsula were found to have pebbled shores, and the North end of the island contained a group of carefully placed rocks culminating in a tall standing stone that today seems to echo the pagoda on the eastern bank. Unfortunately the island and the shores of the pond have been overcome by tall grasses and weeds in the quarter century following the restoration of the site, this growth concealing much of the stone work.
The orientation of the hall and garden--orientation in the literal sense of the term--is explained by the fact that this is an Amida temple. Thus the main hall, famous for its nine statues of the Amida Buddha, represents the Western Paradise, or Pure Land, of Amida Buddhism, and is appropriately located on the western side of the pond. The combination of an Amida Hall and a pond garden is a rare extant example of an arrangement that was apparently commonplace in the Heian Period (the Byodo-in at Uji is the only other extant example dating in the twelfth century). It is worth noting that as the sun sets behind the ridge located to the west of the main hall, casting the temple and the pond garden into shadow, the elevated pagoda remains dramatically illuminated, suggesting to some, the Eastern Paradise of Yakushi Nyorai, the Buddha of healing. Joruri is the Japanese name for the Eastern Paradise, and the original dedication of the temple was to Yakushi, whose image is stored in the pagoda. This east-west emphasis has led some to see the island in the middle of the pond as representing the terrestrial world bracketed by two heavens.

47 Ronin Festival - Ako Gishi-sai Yamashina Kyoto 山科義士まつり
47 Ronin Festival in Yamashina, Kyoto. The 47 Ronin story is one of the most famous stories in Japan inspiring kabuki plays, movies, novels, TV dramas, and documentaries. On December 14, 1702 47 masterless samurai killed their late master's enemy. Though lauded for adhering to the code of bushido they were required to die but were granted the honor of seppuku (ritual suicide).
The ronin had been watched by spies especially their leader Oishi Kuranosuke. To throw them off, Oishi moved to Yamashina near Kyoto and lived a carefree life of women, wine, and song. When the spies' guard dropped Oishi stole away to Edo (Tokyo) and enacted his revenge.
This connection with the 47 Ronin is the origin of the Ako Gishi-sai Festival in Yamashina which takes place on December 14 starting from Bishamondo Temple and ending at Oishi Shrine. At a nearby theater they re-enact scenes from the story

47 Ronin Festival - Ako Gishisai in Ako, Hyogo 四十七士
47 Ronin or Chushingura is one of the most famous samurai stories in Japan. On December 14th, 1702 47 masterless samurai (ronin) attacked and killed their late lord's enemy. This caused quite a controversy because on the one hand they were seen as upholding their samurai code of loyalty but on the other they had broken the law and had killed a government official. Eventually it was decided they would have to die but instead of being killed as common criminals they would be allowed the honor of seppuku - ritual suicide.
Ako in Hyogo prefecture holds a festival every December 14th honoring their hometown heroes with a 3-hour long parade with marching bands, dancers, chanbara sword performance, and taiko drumming.
For a lengthy historical discussion on the 47 Ronin:
JAPAN GUIDE (Off the Beaten Path) SENGAKUJI - The 47 RONIN Temple
Sengakuji is a Historically signifigant tempe in the downtown of Tokyo. Easy to get to, just one stop from Shinagawa Station on the Asakusa Line. Get out at of Sengakuji Station and it is about a minute walk.
The temple is one of the more important temples in Tokyo for Buddhism, but the draw for regualr tourists would be for the grave of the 47 Ronin.
47 Ronin (or the 47 leaderless samurai clad) is an important avenge story in Japan.
Short version goes like this; Asano (leader of the Ako Clad) got in an argument with the one fo the Shogunate's Officers named Kira. Kira had a hate on for Asano and was pushing his buttons. Asano had had enough, drew his sword cutting but not killing Kira.
The Shogunate promptly sentenced Asano to perform SEPPUKU (Ritual Suicide) With apparently no due course, meanwhile nothing happened to Kira.
Asano's clad did not take the news well, so about a year and a half later they avenged their masters death by killing Kira, chopping his melon off and bringing it to Asano's grave as an offering.
After this Ako Incident as it was called happened all 47 members of the Ako clan were forced to then kill themselves.
They stayed true to Samurai form and because of this are now buried next to their leader Asano in the Sengakuji Temple.
The Loyal 47 Ronin's Graves, Chushingura, Sengakuji temple, Tokyo viewing Vlog
Ako 47 Gishis (The Loyal 47 Ronins / The Ako lordless 47 samurais) is known with slaying to the Kira Kozukenosuke Yoshinaka's house in movie and TV drama Chushingura.
Lordless samurai (the Forty-Seven Loyal Retainers) of the Asano, Ako house old vassal including Oishi Kuranosuke Yoshitaka, lord, Asano Takuminokami Naganori long quadrature, Akuri of the wife went and worshiped at the Asanos family temple that slept.
Ako Memorial Service for the Forty-Seven Loyal Retainers is held to hold a service for the Forty-Seven Loyal Retainers on December 14 when killed Kozukenosuke Kira who was the harm of the lord.
The Loyal 47 Ronin Story (The Ako Insident)
Perhaps the most famous story of avenge in Japanese history is the Ako Incident which took place between 1701-1703.
Asano Takuminokami, Feudal Lord of Ako, was appointed by the shogunate to entertain the imperial envoys visiting Edo from Kyoto. He was to seek directions from his official advisor, Kira Kozukenosuke. But Kira disliked Asano and treated him with malice and disgraced his honor as a samurai.
Unable to tolerate Kira's insult anymore, Asano drew his sword on him in the Edo Castle at what is known as The Pine Gallery (Corridor) Incident. Asano managed to cut Kira on his forehead and shoulder but failed to kill him.
It was strictly forbidden to draw one's sword within the Edo castle at that time and Asano was immediately arrested. There was also a law termed equal punishment for quarrels which punished both samurais involved in a fight so both Asano and Kira were expected to be punished. However, while Kira received no punishment, Asano was sentenced to death by seppuku (hara-kiri) in a garden of another lord's residence on the very same day without proper investigation. Seppuku outside in a garden was for a felon and inappropriate for someone of Asano's standing. Further, the Asano estate was confiscated and his family line was dethroned from the lordship.
The loyal retainers of Lord of Ako, better known as Ako Gishi, were indignant of this judgment and pleaded for an amendment of the order and the reinstatement of the Asano house. But their requests were dismissed.
Almost two years after the fateful incident, 47 samurais of Ako assembled under the former chief retainer, Oishi Kuranosuke, to avenge their lord's death and the injustice imposed by the shogunate. On December 14th, 1702, they attacked and killed Kira at his residence. They then marched to Sengakuji to present Kira's head to Asano's grave and reported their accomplishment to their late lord.
The Gishi turned themselves in to the shogunate right away and were sentenced to seppuku the following year on February 4th.
