	It is important to note that Buddhism and ~~Shintoism~~ were closely intertwined in Japan and aspects of nature, like the mountains which were part of Shinto worship, were portrayed as divinities, and then as Buddhas. Reflecting the set of three temple Buddhas, a central Buddha flanked by two smaller ones to the left and right, important mountains were often attributed three peaks and were themselves considered Buddhas.
