History
Deep within Motosu's mountain recesses dwells the Pale Ink Avalokiteshvara, whose name captures her delicate beauty. Though her ink appears pale, her compassion runs deep and dark. Even in the shadowed valleys, the Bodhisattva's radiance perpetually saves those lost in suffering and confusion.
