History

Byakko

Even the grasses and trees of Shoriniji in Komatsudani valley speak of ancient history. As a practice hall for those who aspire to master the Zen way, it has provided both stern and compassionate guidance. Hidden in the depths of Shibuya, one can almost see the silhouettes of monks pursuing truth in the silence. How many times have our hearts been cleansed by the purity of this place? The essence of Zen transcends words and touches all.
