History

Byakko

The fox guardian speaks of the sacred shrine dwelling in ancient Shimonoseki, where the spirit of the turtle deity has protected the land through countless years. As the guardian of this place, it has received the earnest prayers of those seeking family stability and prosperity of their descendants. The turtle, symbol of longevity, bestows blessings that grow ever brighter as time flows onward, steadfast and eternal.
