This year in particular, there has been much discussion about many topics regarding the relationship between Japan and the People's Republic of China (RPC) . A visit to Japan in May by Hu Jintao, President of the PRC, with issues such as food safety, Japan's rescue operations for the 2008 Great Sichuan Earthquake, and the 2008 Beijing Olympics in August with 204 participating nations and regions are still fresh in our memory. Unfortunately, many problems between the two countries still remain unresolved despite a long history of mutual exchanges. In June 2007, I had an opportunity to go and pay homage at temples on Mt. Tendai (Tendaisan) and Putuo (Fudasan) which are regarded as sacred mountains in Chinese Buddhism. This thesis will review my visit to China and provide evidence for the cultural bridge built by many predecessors who overcame great hardships. In particular, this thesis will focus on the famous and not so famous priests who contributed significantly to the development and propagation of Tendai Buddhism. These priests, who went to China to study Buddhism, as well as those who visited Japan from China, will be remembered with respect and gratitude.
