On the ruins of Shōtoku's hermitage the great Buddhist priest Gyōki (行基 668-749), sponsored by Emperor Shōmu (聖武天皇), established Saihō-ji (西方寺). Enshrining Amida, the Hossō sect temple was named after 'Saihō Jōdo' (西方浄土), the Bodhisattva's 'Western Paradise'.

Over 120 species of moss grow like an unbroken carpet of green across much of Saihō-ji's garden.
In order to protect this mossy paradise, since 1977 guests need to apply for admission. Before entering the garden, visitors first hand copy a sutra excerpt (写経 'shakyō').

Although moss was never really a great consideration for the creators of Saihō-ji's (西芳寺) gardens, ruination and a series of devastating floods by chance created Japan's greatest moss garden.
So much so that the temple is better known as 'Koke-dera'.
