Taichō

Taichō (泰澄, July 20, 682 – April 20, 767) was a shugendō monk in Nara period Japan. He was raised in Echizen Province, which was in the southern portion of present-day Fukui Prefecture. He was the second son of Mikami Yasuzumi (三神安角). He is said to be the first person to reach the top of Mount Haku in neighboring Kaga Province and other peaks in the Ryōhaku Mountains.[1]

Opened mountains

Taichō is said to be the first to have climbed the following mountains:

gollark: I am universally always egglocked when interesting stuff happens, as it turns out.

gollark: I saw a copper briefly; this is more interesting than usual.

gollark: There are timestamps on trades *in the listing*.

gollark: Unfortunately, the owner of the parents has owner names off, so we can't see who.

gollark: And celestials, probably the same person.
