Bishamonten, the Guardian of the North, 11th century, Unknown Japanese, 116 cm (including base), Wood with polychrome, Japan, 11th century, Vaishravana is one of the Twelve Devas, a group of Hindu gods adopted as Buddhist guardian deities charged with protecting the four cardinal directions and the four intermediate directions, as well as the sun, moon, heaven, and earth. As the most powerful of the 12, Vaishravana presides over the north, which was understood to be the most dangerous of all directions as it was also inhabited by evil demons and ogres. Appearing here in full armor, he stands atop two such fiends who have been quelled by his might. Sculptures of Vaishravana and other guardian deities are often placed around the principal icons of worship in Buddhist temples. They are understood to have the ability to protect Buddhist teaching and believers from corruption by evil spirits.

Taoyuan's old name was Taoziyuan (Chinese: 仔園; pinyin: Táozǐyuán; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Thô-á-hn̂g; literally: 'peach orchard'), since there used to be many peach blossoms in the area. In 1920 under Japanese rule, the area was renamed Taoyuan Town (Chinese: 園街; pinyin: Táoyuán Jiē; literally: 'peach garden town'), and incorporated into the Hsinchu state as a county jurisdiction.
