Yakamo Seido was built to honor the life of Hida Yakamo after his ascension as Lord Sun. It was a way for the Moshi to attempt to overcome their despair after the death of Lady Amaterasu. The temple was run jointly by the Mantis and by Crab who wished to honor the life of their hero. [1]

Founding[]

Moshi Goraiku, founder of the Goraiku vassal family, ordered to build this massive temple, the first in the lands of the Moshi to officially recognize the ascension of Lord Yakamo. It was built in the Goraiku lands near the western pass out of the Valley of the Centipede, and finished around the year 1160. [2] It taught the Kuni Shugenja, Moshi Shugenja, and Moshi Guardian of the Sun schools. [3]

Order of the Sun[]

The temple was featured with statues showing Lord Yakamo in battle against oni, including one triumphant over Yakamo no Oni. Men of both the Hida family and the Goraiku tended the temple. A few of the men who originally swore fealty to Goraiku formed the Order of the Sun and Goraiku himself had planned to be one of the first monks to join this order. [2]

Jade Sun[]

The sudden demise of Yakamo, who was cast down from the Heavens and replaced by the Jade Dragon, had thrown this section of the Moshi into turmoil. [1]

Known Head of the Temple[]
