History

Byakko

A shrine enshrining the famous onmyoji Abe no Seimei—truly the sacred ground of warding off evil and good fortune. It is said to have been built on the site of Seimei's residence after his passing. Famous for its five-pointed star divine crest, this shrine has long attracted many pilgrims seeking to benefit from Seimei's mysterious powers. In modern times, it continues to be frequented by those seeking protection from calamity, warding off evil, and fulfillment of various wishes. I too hold deep respect for Seimei's wisdom.
