History

Byakko

Located in Nakaire, this shrine embodies the principle of removing calamity while bringing good fortune. The kami's blessing operates like a selective sieve, allowing beneficial influences to flow while blocking harm. Quietly powerful, it works for the wellbeing of all the surrounding community. I admire this balanced approach—neither aggressive nor passive, but precisely calibrated compassion extended to all in equal measure.
