History

According to the temple records, during the reign of Emperor Yomei (585-587), a Buddhist carpenter from Baekje who had come to build Shitenno-ji, was caught in a storm when leaving Japan, and drifted ashore to a port near the present day temple. As a part of a prayer for a safe voyage home, the carpenter carved an image of Bhaisajyaguru at the summit of the temple hill, which became the origin point of Tanema-ji. Years later during the Konin era (810-824), Kukai founded the temple using the Baekje carpenters carving as the Honzon, and spread the five grains he had brought from China across the temple grounds, deciding the present-day temple name Tanema-ji (種間寺 lit. “seed space temple”).

The temple was abandoned following the forced separation of Shinto and Buddhism, but was later restored in 1880.[1]

gollark: But what if you don't have a calculator and want the factorial of a number between 1 and 7 without the hard work of multiplying 4 by 3 by 2 by 1 and so on?
gollark: Convenient formula for factorials up to 7: x! = (x - 1) * -1 / 5040 * (x - 2) * (x - 3) * (x - 4) * (x - 5) * (x - 6) * (x - 7) - x * (x - 1) * (x - 2) * (x - 3) * (x - 4) * (x - 5) * (x - 7) + x / 720 * (x - 2) * (x - 3) * (x - 4) * (x - 5) * (x - 6) * (x - 7) + x * -1 / 120 * (x - 1) * (x - 3) * (x - 4) * (x - 5) * (x - 6) * (x - 7) + x / 24 * (x - 1) * (x - 2) * (x - 4) * (x - 5) * (x - 6) * (x - 7) + x * -1 / 6 * (x - 1) * (x - 2) * (x - 3) * (x - 5) * (x - 6) * (x - 7) + x / 2 * (x - 1) * (x - 2) * (x - 3) * (x - 4) * (x - 6) * (x - 7) + x * (x - 1) * (x - 2) * (x - 3) * (x - 4) * (x - 5) * (x - 6).
