According to sources including "Keijo Manjuzenji-ki," the Rokujo Mido was built by the grieving Emperor Shirakawa in order to pray for the soul of his wife Yuhomonin (Imperial Princess Teiko) who died in 1096 aged 21. 『京城万寿禅寺記』などによると、白河天皇の皇女である郁芳門院(てい子内親王)が永長元年(1096年)に数え年21歳で亡くなり、それを悲しんだ天皇が皇女の菩提のために六条御堂を建てた。 |
