History

Byakko

An ancient Zen temple in Horikawa Shinmachi. In the faces of pilgrims this fox has observed, there is the countenance of those who contemplate themselves in deep meditation and silence. Even as they leave with the seal in hand, their steps are light and hearts pure. This fox knows how deeply this temple's teachings cleanse the soul.
