History

Byakko

This temple, perpetually shining with eternal light, continuously shows the way for those lost in confusion within Matsumoto's Sasaka. Day and night, through changing seasons and eras, this light never dims but shines eternal. The temple's ancient structure seems to be light itself made manifest in stone and wood. This fox has witnessed countless lost souls arriving here and seeing their faces brighten with renewed direction.
