Kitano Tenmangu - the god of learning in Japan-

This review was posted in September 2010. The information may have changed since then (about our content).

Sugawara Michizane was a scholar, poet, and politician of the Heian Period of Japan. He is regarded as an excellent poet, particularly in Chinese poetry.

He came to be worshipped as the god of learning after his death. And he is enshrined in Kitano Tenmangu.
