History

Byakko

Standing at the island's edge, this temple witnesses the eternal dialogue between nature and human spirit. True to its name—clarity through austerity—it purifies all defilement, elevating heart and body. Island inhabitants have long come to cleanse their souls. The crash of waves, the whisper of wind, all harmonize with this temple's sacred invocation. The protective spirit watching over this island endures eternally.
