Did you know Japan has centuries-old temples dedicated to Lord Ganesha?
From Kyoto’s Kangiten statue built by Emperor Gokogon in 1372 CE, to Tokyo’s Matsuchiyama Shoten (possibly the oldest Ganesha temple in Japan), and the grand Hozan-ji temple in Nara — Japan has a deep tradition of Kangiten worship.

Kangiten, also called Binayaka-ten, Ganabachi, Ganahachi, Ganahattei, is none other than our Vinayaka, Ganapati, Ganesha. The elephant face, the reverence, the faith — it all mirrors Hindu worship. Just like in Bharat, the Japanese too believe Kangiten fulfills every prayer.

This is a fascinating link between Indian civilization and Japanese culture that has endured for centuries.
