Camellia Tea CeremonyYasaka-no-tō is the oldest pagoda within the city proper. Although Hōkan-ji burnt in the Ōnin War, the pagoda survived.
Due to its commanding position, warlords had regularly used the pagoda to advertise their authority and dominion. It was also used as a giant billboard😂
In 1618 the Kyōto Shoshidai (京都所司代 'chief magistrate') Itakura Katsushige (板倉勝重) finally banned its use in this way.
