From the records in Kojiki and Nihon shoki it is known that the area around Miwa was an important location for the early Yamato kingdom and was a sacred site of residence of the Miwa deity.

This paper examines the question of the relationship between the Japanese imperial regalia -- the so-called mirror, sword, and jewel -- and Buddhism by analyzing representation of the jewel in the medieval era.
