Nowadays, even the local people neglect the origins and importance of these temples, namely Myo-o-in at Ikeda-cho and Zenjakuji at Sakamoto-cho. The Japanese Archeological Society has been searching for the 46 temples of which the existence was mentioned in the Nihon Shoki in year 32 of the Suiko Era (624 CE). As seventy years had passed since the introduction of Buddhism in the mid-sixth century, the number of temples had gradually increased to 46. But where were those temples ? It is almost certain that we can count Horyuji (法隆寺), Asukadera (飛鳥寺), and Shitenoji (四天王寺) among these 46 temples of the Suiko Era. However, many others remain unconfirmed. Ishida Mosaku, the most authoritative archeologist before World WarII, nominated Myo-o-in and Zenjakuji as being among the 46 temples of the Suiko Era through estimation of the age of the production of tiles and the location of garan (伽藍), namely buildings. However, it seems that more recent archeologists have another conclusion; the origins of Myo-o-in and Zenjakuji, are not so ancient. So, how should we think of these temples ? After the victory of the Buddhists in the war between Shintoists and Buddhists in the year 587 CE, many families began to build temples for the purpose of ancestor worship. Buddhist temples became the sites of tombs. There were two ancient families, the names of which originated from the names of local areas, Ikeda and Sakamoto. Could they have built newly-styled magnificent buildings in keeping with the trends of the epoch?
