History

Shira Shrine, guarded by this fox, has radiated pure white light in Hiroshima's center. Those who visit have their hearts' defilement washed away, a new pure heart is born there. I too have helped purify people's hearts for generations with this white light. I pray your heart will be wrapped in this white light and freed from all defilement.
