Japan’s world heritage site Horyu-ji in Nara Prefecture stands to question academic scholarship on geographical origin of Hebrew and Jewish religious identity of linking Israel with Judaism and on other stories of its past. This heritage site forthrightly rejects the idea of Hebrew scholarship’s demand through archaeological excavations that ancient Israel is as same as the present Israel. Japan’s ancient history inherits a share in Hebrew tradition and culture which no one can deny and doubt.

Unesco’s scholarship finds Horyu-ji as a Buddhist heritage site; and it is not correct. Even its wooden architecture does not show adaptation and introduction of Buddhism into Japan from China by way of the Korean peninsula.

The site consists of forty-eight ancient wooden structures located at the two temples sites, at Horyu-ji and at Hokki-ji. Some structures on the temple sites date from the late-7th or 8th century, scholars claim; some of them are the oldest surviving wooden buildings in the world. Structures below the ground in the precinct are known as Wakakusa Garan. The south-east of the later West Temple is called Sai-in. The introduction of Buddhism into Japan and its promotion by Prince Shotoku marks a historic point but the culture which Japan seems to have inherited tells something different.

Horyu-ji identifies the ancient Hari-vrsha of Indian puranas; Pali texts also speak of a group of ancient people who were living in one name ‘Hari’ in this region without having any home and shelters. They were considered as lower devas(Ji/Jews) by earlier puranic texts. Hari is the other name of Vishnu, the God at the centre of all traditions of puranic India. The root of biblical Hebrew is in this ‘Hari’ whose dwelling place was called Hari-varsha or the country of ‘Hari’. History finds them as ‘hayas/haryas’; they were also known as ‘Hi’, ‘Hi’ and ‘Hu’ ‘Hu’ people.

Ikaruga in Japan is home to Horyu-ji and Hokki-ji; Hime-ji is also in the vicinity of this heritage site; the palace is called Ikaruga-no-Miya and the temple is also called Ikaruga-dera.

The whole ancient identity of the migrants settled in Japan can be historically judged through ensembles of these historic names; they collectively present the geographical situation of the ancient world and faith of their inhabitants from where migrants came and dwelled in Japan.

The temple complex hold Sai-in in the west and To-in in the east. The western part contains Kondo or the Sanctuary Hall and the five-story pagoda. The To-in area holds the octagonal Yumedono Hall means the Hall of Dreams east of Sai-in. The complex contains monk’s quarters, lecture halls with dining and library halls.
