History

The Fudo-son deity enshrined at Kezo-ji in Umezawa, with its fierce visage like blazing fire, burns away all evil karma. The place of practice I once witnessed was wrapped in flame and solemn majesty. It holds the power to cleanse the filth from visitors' hearts and guide them toward a pure future—truly the immovable dignity of divinity.
