XE3F2327 - Pagoda Yasaka - 八坂の塔 (Kioto - Kyoto - 京都)

The Yasaka Pagoda (Japanese: 八坂の塔), also known as Tower of Yasaka and Yasaka-no-to, is a Buddhist pagoda located in Kyoto, Japan. The 5-story tall pagoda is the last remaining structure of a 6th-century temple complex known as Hōkan-ji Temple. The pagoda is a popular tourist attraction.
Archaeological evidence dates the foundation of the Yasaka Pagoda to the 7th Century. The founding date is disputed between the reign of Prince Shotoku and the sixth year of the Tenmu period (678 CE). The pagoda and the associated temple were destroyed and reconstructed several times up to 1408, of which the current pagoda stands to this day.
Control of the pagoda was historically disputed between the nearby Shinto Gion Shrine and the Buddhist temple of Kiyomizu-dera, to the point the pagoda was burnt down in May of 1179. It was later rebuilt in 1191 with funding from Kawachi Genji noble Minamoto no Yoritomo. In 1240, the head priest of the nearby Buddhist temple of Kennin-ji affiliated the pagoda with Zen Buddhism, which remains the official
designation of the Yasaka Pagoda to the present day.

La pagoda Yasaka (japonés: 八坂の塔), también conocida como Torre de Yasaka y Yasaka-no-to, es una pagoda budista situada en Kioto, Japón. La pagoda, de 5 pisos de altura, es la última estructura que queda de un complejo de templos del siglo VI conocido como Templo Hōkan-ji. La pagoda es una popular atracción turística.
Las evidencias arqueológicas datan la fundación de la pagoda Yasaka en el siglo VII. La fecha de fundación se disputa entre el reinado del príncipe Shotoku y el sexto año del periodo Tenmu (678 EC). La pagoda y el templo asociado fueron destruidos y reconstruidos varias veces hasta el año 1408, del que se conserva la pagoda actual.
El control de la pagoda fue históricamente disputado entre el cercano santuario sintoísta de Gion y el templo budista de Kiyomizu-dera, hasta el punto de que la pagoda fue quemada en mayo de 1179. Posteriormente fue reconstruida en 1191 con la financiación del noble Kawachi Genji Minamoto no Yoritomo. En 1240, el sacerdote principal del cercano templo budista de Kennin-ji afilió la pagoda al budismo zen, que sigue siendo la denominación oficial de la pagoda de Yasaka hasta la actualidad.
