Temple to Koshin

The Temple to Koshin at Prosperous Plains City was the greatest temple devoted to Koshin, the Fortune of Roads.

Founding
In the 4th century a minor branch of the Daidoji family predominantly made up of merchants and traders, came to prominence within the Crane Clan following the Emperor's construction of a new series of roads and highways. They fully committed every resource at their disposal in developing merchant caravans, a concept that was not popular at that time. The plan was a great success, and the family patriarch established a monastery to Koshin in the trade city of Heigen Toshi.
