ContentsJapan Heritage
These are roof tiles that were part or the Buddhist temple which once stood at the site of the Koganeyama Gold Mine. Because the shape of the tiles suggest that a circular temple was built, and because they include tiles with the era name "Tenpyo" written on them, the construction of the temple can be narrowed down to the Tenpyo years. They are important materials that give shape to the contents of the ruins.
