Publisher's Summary

Hiraizumi in Iwate Prefecture was the political, economic, and cultural center of the Tohoku region from the Heian to the Kamakura period. 岩手県の平泉は、平安時代から鎌倉時代にかけて、東北地方の政治や経済、文化の中心地だった場所です。
平泉を治めたのは、平安貴族の流れを汲む奥州藤原氏。彼らは親子3代にわたって、数々の寺院を建てました。
彼らは平泉に浄土の世界を出現させ、仏の教えによって平和な世の中を作ろうとしたのです。
このような浄土思想に基づいて造られた寺院や庭園、遺跡などが、世界遺産に登録されています。
なかでも中尊寺は、莫大な富と、当時最高の技術や材料を使用して造られた金色堂が有名です。
総金箔張りの金色堂の輝きは、訪れる人々に、極楽浄土の世界にいるかのような錯覚を起こさせます。
