History

Byakko

Direct pointing means indicating enlightenment without words. This small hermitage quietly resting in Sagano's depths serves as the ultimate sanctuary for those polishing their hearts through zazen alone. The white fox has felt something beyond words in this sacred place. Within bamboo-encircled walls, silent teachings continue solemnly unfolding. This is where one encounters their true self—the very essence of Jikishian's wisdom.
