People yearning for eternal prosperity created a structure
of unparalleled splendor to epitomize the land of Perfect
Bliss in the present world. The Konjikido uses gold in
abundance, and its radiant beauty eloquently speaks of
the wealth of the Tohoku region and prosperity of the
three generations of the Northern Fujiwara clan. Its brightness
has not diminished even after 900 years. |

When snow covers the oldest Paradise Garden in Japan,
the "Dance of the Ennen," which has survived
for 800 years, is presented as a dedication to the temple.
The mysterious dance, in which elegantly clad dancers
stand out beautifully against the cold and clear darkness,
continues late into the night.
