Saijinzuka

This pine-covered mound honors Saijin (954–1030), a Buddhist priest and the teacher of Prince Shoshin (1005–1085), the second abbot of Ninnaji. Saijin was the son of Minamoto no Masazane (920–993), a high-ranking nobleman, and a priest of the esoteric Shingon school, one of the two schools of Buddhism favored by the court and the nobility at the time. He rose through the ranks of the priesthood, serving in several important positions at Toji, the oldest temple in Kyoto and Shingon headquarters at the time. Saijin was eventually appointed head of his order, and in 1020 was granted the right—unprecedented for a priest—to enter the inner section of the royal palace in a cart pulled by oxen instead of having to leave his cart at the palace gate, as was generally required. Though the Saijinzuka resembles a burial mound, Saijin’s physical remains are not thought to be contained within it.

济信冢

这座松树覆盖的土丘，祀奉高僧济信(954-1030)，仁和寺第二任住持性信法亲王(1005-1085)的老师。济信是高阶贵族源雅信(920–993)的儿子，也是当时宫廷和贵族青睐的两大佛教宗派之一密宗真言宗的僧人。他不断获得晋升，曾在当时京都最古老的寺院和真言宗本山（总部）东寺担任多个重要职位。

济信最终被任命为大僧正，并于1020年获授僧人前所未有的殊荣——可以乘坐牛车进入皇宫内廷，而不必遵循常例把车舆留在宫门口。尽管济信冢以坟茔之姿示人，但通常认为济信的遗骸并不在其中。
