Archaeologists discovered a stone dharani pillar decorated with three entwining dragons and engraved with the text of the Uṣṇīṣa Vijaya Dhāraṇī Sūtra in Kyoto's Anshō-ji Temple in 1953. Katsūra 2017 Egaku brought this column back to Japan either in 841 or 842 CE. One can see the column on display at the Kyoto National Museum.
