History

Byakko

Living up to its name, Seikouin is a temple that brings forth radiant light and brilliance. Standing amidst the deep verdure of Higashiyama, it has welcomed those who seek cultivation of both art and spirit. When we visited, a soundless sound seemed to echo through the silence, a sacred resonance. This place possesses the power to polish the human heart and soul.
