History
In Kamishimizu-cho, Shimizu, where I stand guard, Zensoji shines as a beacon of Zen teaching. 'So' means a gathering place where many come together in practice and meditation. The salt winds from Shimizu Harbor carry the subtle fragrance of Zen to all who visit this ancient temple, seeking the light of wisdom and the quiet of true mind.
