History

Byakko

Though modest in appearance, this temple in Nara's heart carries the weight of centuries-old traditions. The Eleven-faced Kannon has long watched over children's growth and answered the prayers of mothers seeking safe delivery. In this quiet sanctuary, countless hopes have been offered and countless blessings received, making it a beacon of maternal compassion.
