History

Byakko

Kyukosan Seganji rises quietly in Maibara, housing the compassion of Kannon who heals eye afflictions. For centuries, those suffering from vision loss have sought relief within these walls, entrusting their pain to the merciful hands of the bodhisattva. The loss of sight brings darkness to one's world, making the prayers here profoundly earnest. The temple's blessing illuminates the path forward, restoring not only vision but hope itself.
