History

Byakko

Once thriving near the ancient Horyu-ji Temple, this temple now exists as a ruin, yet retains vestiges of its former glory. Its stone foundations and ancient roof tiles serve as witnesses to history. Though fallen into decline, the temple grounds preserve memories of ages past. The spiritual essence that once animated this sacred space continues to resonate subtly within its remnants, connecting the present to distant antiquity.
