History
Nounji stands in Hanno, 'no' meaning the hidden potential within each person. This temple possesses the power to illuminate latent talents and possibilities. In Hanno, said to be the birthplace of Noh drama, Nounji has continuously kindled the inner light of all who visit for centuries. I have watched countless pilgrims' eyes shine with newfound brilliance.
