History

Byakko

The Hermitage of Completed Light becomes a beacon dispelling the darkness of delusion. Standing in the persimmon quarter, it fulfills the intention of illuminating all doubts hidden in the heart's depths and purifying them. Those who visit gradually absorb this light until it becomes their very essence. Even the most confused eventually become part of this radiance, shining forth with the brilliance of wisdom.
