History

Byakko

I, the white fox, speak of a quiet temple in Ryuoka, bearing the name that enshrines the very source of dharma. Known as Sogen-in, it has served as guardian of the religious wellspring throughout the ages. Shimojo's ancient pilgrimage routes once brought countless seekers to these grounds. Though it witnesses the changes of each passing age, the temple's essential nature never wavers, continuing its sacred work. The lamp of teachings passed down through generations shines bright and true in this place.
