The Aizen-do hall within Saidai-ji enshrines Aizen Myoo, the fierce protector who saves sentient beings through flames of compassion. The scarlet fire of divine wrath is actually the flame of love itself, burning away attachments to reveal true connection. Lovers seeking romantic bonds have come to this hall across countless generations, finding the deity's blessing on their hearts.
