Description


Natsumi Temple complex

The former Natsumi Temple (夏見廃寺 Natsumi-haiji) was a Buddhist temple complex during the Nara period in the city of Nabari, Mie Prefecture, Japan. It was built under a vow of Princess Oku in remembrance of her dead father, Emperor Temmu. The structures were burned at the end of the 10th century, but the foundations were found through excavations funded by Kyoto University in May 1946. Today, the site of this temple is a part of Nabari City Central Park. The foundations of the main hall, a pagoda, a lecture hall, and surrounding buildings are preserved.
