History

Byakko

An ancient shrine honoring a goddess who protects women throughout their lives. Seated in Tsutsui, she has gently received prayers for safe childbirth, beauty, and strength. From the age of the Kojiki to the present, the elegance and power of the divine feminine continues to breathe here, blessing all women who seek her favor.
