Asukadera Temple (Genkoji Temple) is regarded to be the place of the
start of Buddhism in Japan and dates only back to about the 7th
century, so it is not very old, but its groundplan appears to relate
to an older pantheon, since that groundplan clearly marks the stars
of Cepheus, and apparently also Cygnus and Ursa Minor.
