The history of Taima-dera is very old and the foundation goes back to the Asuka period in which Prince Shotoku was in 612. It is said that it was founded as a temple in Mr. Toma whose basis was also powerful clan of this ground those days. Although to have opened was set to Imperial Prince Maroko (the 3rd Imperial prince of Emperor Yomei who is Prince Shotoku's father) who is equivalent to Prince Shotoku's younger half-brother, it is Manbozo-in which Imperial Prince Maroko built, and it was in Kawachi also as the basis. Those who is called Taimanomahitokunimi which asks Imperial Prince Maroko's grandchild moved this Manbozo-in after that to the present ground which is said for Enno-Gyojya to have opened in 681, and the history of Taima-dera begins from here with Mr. Toma. In response to the influence of Kobo Daishi which visited this ground after that in 824, what was Sanron-Syu is changed to the Shingon sect by making Mirokubosatu-zazo into the principal image, and the Toma mandala serves as the principal image. Moreover, Taima-dera attracts attention very much, and it comes to collect faith as it enters at the Heian period in which Mr. Fujiwara was because there is this mandala and the belief of Buddhism's decline spreads, although known also for having made the mandala which drew the Nishikata paradise called the Toma mandala on Taima-dera into the principal image. It seems that a daughter of Fujiwara Toyonari called a lieutenant general princess in this Toma mandala is left behind as for the tradition of what wove in the scenery of paradise in one night. Moreover, the foot of Nijyo-zan with Taima-dera,Since it hits the west of Yamato and the sun sets among 2 mountains depending on time, as faith was collected in the sacred mountain as an entrance to the Nishikata paradise said to the belief of Buddhism's decline, this will also raise the fame of Taima-dera. moreover, Japan -- the state at the time of [ of only and the late Nara period ] foundation -- east -- Mirokubosatu-zazo which is the principal image of the main hall of a Buddhist temple at the time of foundation which is said it to be also very worthy for that both a tower and Saito are left behind, and to have completed it with Hondo, a mandala, and clay -- east -- a tower - Saito is also designated as the national treasure. Taima-dera is also very famous also as a temple where a peony blooms. Although it is a peony garden in the garden of Taima-dera Oku-in, or the Taima-dera Nakano-bo garden that the flower of a peony is mainly seen and it can see also by other semiautonomous subtemples, best time to see turns into the beginning time of May from the end of April. The peony garden of Oku-in and the paradise garden are introduced before long this time. This Oku-in is a semiautonomous subtemple of Taima-dera which was the Shingon sect in response to the influence of Kobo Daishi of what is one of the Taima-dera semiautonomous subtemples,A principal image Honen saint image is installed in Hondo (shrine) as Okuno-in of Chion-in (Kyoto) which is a head temple of the Jodo sect, and it has the very puzzling history of having been founded in 1370. It is said that it is the history of the Toma mandala of having expressed paradise that it is said why it became such a thing having played a role, and having used in order that Chion-in of the Jodo sect by which mandala faith was multiplied might fix its eyes on it and might spread the Jodo sect. Was the mandala showing paradise faith ideal to cult expansion and propagation activities for the Jodo sect? Since it is puzzling, if a few is arranged, Taima-dera is the Shingon sect and it is [ being the Jodo sect and ] more intelligible for Taima-dera Oku-in to think that there are two different temples substantially at Okuno-in of Chion-in. The main hall of a Buddhist temple makes Mirokubosatu-zazo the principal image in Taima-dera for many years, and it is to the Sanron-Syu-> Shingon sect,The shrine (Hondo) of Oku-in makes the Honen saint image the principal image, and only Mandara-Do in the Jodo sect and the Taima-dera site makes the Toma mandala the principal image of the both parties of Taima-dera by both-parties sharing of the Jodo sect and the Shingon sect. Moreover, the semiautonomous subtemple of Taima-dera is a semiautonomous subtemple of the Shingon sect for every cult, respectively.The semiautonomous subtemple of (Nakano-bo-Seinan-in-Fudo-in-Syositu-in-Takeno-bo) and the Jodo sect (Oku-in-Gonen-in-Senbutu-in-Soni-in-Nenbutu-in-Raigei-in-Siun-in-)There is Gokuraku-in. Taima-dera is the new temple that two cults, the Jodo sect and the Shingon sect, live together, by the reason for saying till the present. Moreover, it is said that many flowers of the peony came to be planted in a meaning called the flower of the offering to French appearance.
