History
In Fujinomiya, beneath sacred Mount Fuji, stands Shozanji, a temple that draws seekers of the deep Zen path. 'Sho' means auspicious signs, and 'Zen' represents meditation practice. When these unite, beneficial transformation flows through all visitors' hearts and spirits. The disciplined forms of monks walking their path of practice remain forever clear and pure in my watchful eyes.
