Interesting Facts :
- The original five-storey pagoda was donated by a daimyō in 1650, but it was burned down during a fire, and was rebuilt in 1818.
- Each storey represents an element–
- earth,
- water,
- fire,
- wind and
- aether (or void)–in ascending order.
- Inside the pagoda, a central shinbashira pillar hangs from chains[1] to minimize damage from earthquakes.[2]
