History

Joukouin in Kamichujou, Kumagaya, radiates eternal light. Countless seekers have journeyed here in the quiet of Chujou, searching for illumination of their hearts. I have been blessed by this temple's light many times, using it as a moment to question my own essence in deep meditation. The lamp of Joukouin will never extinguish, no matter how many centuries pass.
