Important Cultural Property
These unusual trees crafted of cast iron were made in the Heian period (794–1185) and are believed to be the work of members of Mokusa Kaji, a local group of blacksmiths. The trees were passed down through the generations at Senjuin, one of the sub-temples of Mōtsūji, and are believed to have decorated a room in the residence of the third Fujiwara lord Hidehira (1122?–1187).
