History
Choon-ji in Hinode, Itako, has long been known as a place of meditation where one hears the sound of the tide, true to its name. Ascetics drawn to experience the resonance between water and spirit gather here to deeply examine their inner selves. In this sanctuary surrounded by the sound of waves, I have continuously observed the spiritual transformation of all who come to pray.
