Dharanisuke-gan
At the foot of the mountains of ascetic training, there is a medicine that has continued for over a thousand years—Dharanisuke-gan from Amakawa Village. Its origins date back about 1,300 years. It is said to have begun when En no Gyoja, the founder of Shugendo, decocted medicinal herbs from the mountains to create medicine for people suffering from epidemics. This Japanese-Chinese gastrointestinal medicine uses the bark of Amur cork tree (Kihada) as its primary ingredient, and shops manufacturing and selling it still line the streets of the Dorogawa hot spring district today. It has long been cherished as a staple medicine for Yamabushi (ascetics) climbing Mount Omine and for pilgrims, as well as a household essential. A miraculous traditional medicine of Nara, nurtured by mountains and faith. Why not take one home with you as a charm for your future travels?
