History

Byakko

Entering the grounds of Joukouji Temple, I beheld an eternal light that shines without ceasing. This constant light is the lamp of Buddha's wisdom, the hope that gleams within every heart. Through a thousand years in Nowa, this temple has kept its radiance undimmed through all ages' darkness. Within this eternal light, your heart too shall find peace. Place yourself in this changeless glow and rest secure.
