explanation: Mt. Tateyama is one of the 3 most famous mountains of Japan. It designates the chain of splendid mountains of 3000m high which tower in the east of Toyama prefecture. It has been opened as a sanctuary of the mountain faith. There is even a legend which says that by following a white hawk, Saeki Aritomo, late Saint Jiko, would have met Amidanyorai. The anecdote that Sasa Narimasa went over Harinoki Pass is well known too.
