Description
Taya cave is an artificial cave in the Josenji Temple, Japan. On 1st November 1990, the cave was registered as a local cultural property of the city of Yokohama. The original form of the taya cave is said to be the remains of a cave tomb or cave house from the Kofun period. It was opened in the Kamakura period (1185-1333) as a place of practice for Shingon esoteric Buddhism. Taya Cave was built using very advanced surveying techniques. The cave is valuable for examining the history of civil engineering in Japan. In addition, the reliefs in the cave are of high artistic value.
