Company Graves on Mount Kōya

On Mount Kōya, the center of Shingon Buddhism, Japanese companies have built graves of their own. A 1993 study by Nakamaki Hirochika counted 103 company graves on Mount Kōya and 23 on Mount Hiei.

The study describes what they hold. The company graves contain the graves of founders and memorial towers for employees who have died.
