Mount+Misen

Mount Misen is a religiously-praised mountain located on the island of Miyajima, Hiroshima, Japan. The main religion that is practiced and represented is Buddhism. On the mountain there are many temples and shrines of the Buddhist religion. The most famous being the flame that has stayed light for over 1,160 years. It is called the Eternal Flame. Another big sign of Buddhism is the "Plum Tree of Thin Stick". It is said that ever since Kobo Daishi has planted it there, that it has stayed and lived there since. There are many other signs of Buddhism, in which most are done by Kobo Daishi. This is why Mount Misen is suppossed to remind us of all of the good and holy deeds that he performed during his life time.
