| Research Abstract |
It is well known that there are various regional folklore in Harima province. The present study aims to examine the characteristics of ancient and medieval Buddhistic culture and its social backgrounds in the case of the folklore about Indian Taoist Houdou-Sennin, who was believed as a great temple founder in Harima. In this study we focus on three problems as follows; (1) archaeological and historical survey on the relationship between Kohun(old mounded tombs) and ancient temples in this area 7th - 8th century, (2) historical survey on medieval temples and its foundational legends, (3) regional folklores and historical landscape which represents them. As a result, we got various data on the distribution of stone coffins, medieval temples and legendary places connecting with Houdou-Sennin in Hyogo prefecture, and we obtained some new hypotheses that the folklore of Housou-Sennin is closely related ancient megalith worship and regional mason.
