About Kiyomizu-dera
The first temple of Kiyomizu-dera was founded in 780 AD during the Heian period,
by the shogun, Sakanoue no Tamuramaro. Shortly afterwards, it was designated
an imperial temple in 805 AD, although all that can be seen today dates back to
1633, when Tokugawa Iemitsu ordered the temple to be rebuilt. The temple was
associated with the Hossō school of Buddhism, which originated in Nara, and
continues to be a place of pilgrimage to this day.
