History

Byakko

The hall where the Shunie ceremony is performed at Todai-ji Temple. This ancient ritual, with flames dancing in dramatic fashion, purifies sins and defilements of the people and guides them toward renewal. Visitors who offer prayers here experience both spiritual and physical cleansing.
