Kyogashima Island
|
This island was built by Taira no Kiyomori in the 12th century to protect the coast of Owada no Ura (present-day Kobe Port). Construction was temporarily halted following Kiyomori's death in 1181, but was resumed and completed in 1196 by the monk Chogen of Todaiji Temple. The island was named after a passage in the Tale of the Heike that says that instead of human sacrifices, stones bearing the entire Buddhist scriptures were buried on the island.
