History
A temple where seekers come to find lasting contentment and lasting joy amid life's inevitable sorrows. The white fox has been enfolded countless times by this sanctuary's gentle spirit in Yasugi's quiet reaches. Human suffering is indeed inescapable, yet pilgrims here learn to discover hidden joy within that sorrow. The deep meaning of the character for pleasure is revealed anew. Here one learns not to resist time's flow but to accept it gracefully and find peace within its embrace.
