History

Byakko

The light of Jokoin has shone uninterrupted for centuries, never fading. Standing in the Kurotani valley, the sound of nembutsu echoes eternally. We learned here that however foolish the human heart may be, the instinct to seek light never fades. The heart seeking constant light—that is humanity's most essential wish. Even in the darkest valley, light exists and endures.
