History
An ancient hermitage enshrined in Makinogo, Izu. The teachings of this place run deep and strong, bringing jewel-like light to the hearts of people here. Surrounded by quiet pastures, pilgrims contemplate their true nature. Each time I visit these grounds with my white paws, I am drawn into the heart's deep silence.
