Tossup
In the 1830s, Yoshimura Tomiemon (“TOH-mee-AY-mon”) founded an organization to fund these places that he modeled on earlier lotteries called mujinkō. A likely-forged document known as Gojōmoku elaborates on the danka system of patronage to these places. After the Emi Rebellion, a ruler gifted one million wooden sculptures to 10 of these places. These places, which were destroyed in a mass hysteria known as haibutsu kishaku, include an early one designed by Baekje (“BECK-jay”) artisans at Asuka. The Ōnin War interrupted the construction of one of these places built on the grounds of Ashikaga Yoshimasa’s villa so that it was never covered in silver. In addition to razing one of these places on Mount Hiei (“HEE-yay”), Oda Nobunaga besieged one of these places where the ikkō-ikki lived. For 10 points, Ishiyama Hon·gan-ji was what type of place home to practitioners of Buddhism? ■END■
