After becoming governor of [[Aki province]], he oversaw the reconstruction of [[Itsukushima Shrine]]; the shrine would continue to bear a connection to the Taira clan down through the centuries, and holds in its collections a precious set of [[sutra|sutras]] formerly owned by, or penned by, Kiyomori and his relatives, known as the ''[[Heike Nokyo|Heike Nôkyô]]''.
