History
In a mystical corner of Shodoshima where I have wandered, stands a great Kannon statue reaching toward the heavens. Its noble form embodies the compassion of Kannon Bosatsu, who saves even the damned from hell itself. This temple, which enshrines the Buddha's sacred tooth, is a rare spiritual sanctuary gathering treasures of the world. If you suffer, pray with single-minded devotion before this great Kannon, and your afflictions shall surely find salvation.
