History
This temple, in Hiroshima's south, has protected the bonds between parents and children across countless generations. Jizō Bodhisattva's warm gaze stands at the boundary between this world and the next, bearing suffering on behalf of all beings. Those gathered here are embraced by infinite compassion, living through tears and laughter, continuing the sacred journey of life.
