Gyoki (行基) is a famous and virtuous Buddhist priest in Nara period. He is known getting many supporters from the people and the local influential person by having performed much social work such as the construction of a bridge and the harbor facilities, the building of the hotels for travelers, and the digging of the pond and the ditch, while occasionally receiving persecution of the legal government. Furthermore, he had a legend that“Forty-nine Temples built by Gyoki”. But almost of these temples have not been discovered archeologically yet despite many archeologists and historians tried it. In this paper, we insists to approach how Gyoki and his believers group recognized ancient temples by comparing aspects of building or reconstructing of ancient temple with the presumed position of "forty-nine temples built by Gyoki" and other Gyoki-related temples in Izumi district, hometown of him.
