These unreasonable demands were sarcastically called "Yamashina dori" (Yamashina arguments), and this Yamashina came from Yamashina-dera Temple (the predecessor of Kofuku-ji Temple), which was located in today's Yamashina Ward of Kyoto long before the national capital was transferred to Heian-kyo (today's Kyoto). これを皮肉を込めて「山階道理」(山階寺は平安遷都よりも遥か以前に山科区にあった興福寺の前身)と呼ばれた。 |
