TO unite the two. The ablest and
most powerful follower Of Buddha
was, no doubt, the great warrior, Iye-
yasu, who was deified by the emperor
as the great incarnation of Buddha,
the light of the east" Upon his death
this noted man was buried at Kuno-
zan, In the southern country, and
noble silrines we're built to immortal
lie his memory. But in time 1t was
felt that sufficient honor had not been
done the mighty man, and 1t was de-
cided to remove his remains to a
more fitting resting place at Nikko.
So, in 1917, on the greatest day
Nikko ever knew, his body was re-
moved to her exalted protection, with
such impressive ceremonies as only
the rites Of Buddha can afford. Ja-
pan has never seen such another bur-
ial; 1t may never again see its like.
The most sought approach to the
temple tombs of the illustrious dead
is over the sacred bridge which Is a
wooden structure lacquered a deep
red, in vivid contrast to the somber
hue of the pines, and supported by
stone piers. Gates are closed at Ell
ther end, stopping all entrances ex-
cept when they are open once year
for the annual festival, and vast
crowds pass over the sacred way.
Midway in the ascent is small bel
fry, looking like a huge mushroom
under it's big sloping roof, covered
with bronze plates and surmounted by
the crest of Iyeyasu. A bronze bell
rung by means Of big log of wood
placed at an angle, so that, upon be-
ing pulled back by rope, 1t will

1t rebounds, sends forth its clear, res
