History

True to its name Kezoin, this temple is surrounded by beautiful flowers. Cherry blossoms of spring, morning glories of summer, chrysanthemums of autumn, and pine of winter—each seasonal flower captures hearts. In both the transience and beauty of flowers, the truth of life is revealed and witnessed.
