History

Byakko

The golden hall shimmering upon mirror-like waters reflects the hopeful Pure Land realm into this world. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's profound faith manifested the celestial paradise upon this earthly site. Enveloped in golden light, pilgrims release their attachment to the suffering world and direct their hearts toward rebirth in the Pure Land.
