History

Byakko

Tōkōji temple, honoring the Light of the East, serves as a beacon illuminating life's darkest passages. The white fox, having witnessed both shadow and radiance through endless cycles, recognizes this light as particularly pure and potent. Those lost in confusion find their way to this temple, where an inner lamp ignites—the compassionate light of Buddha's mercy cutting through confusion's fog.
