The old temple in Katsunuma, Oyadonoji. Temple familiarly nicknamed "Buddhist temple" is quietly standing in the middle of a small hill overlooking the Kofu Basin. The reason why it is called "grape temple" is because the medicine Narrative image of Honjin has a grape bunch on the left. It is common to see that medicine pots are usually in hand, so it is clear that grapes played quiet like medicine and were prized. What grapes were cultivated here in the Heian period.
