History
Jojuin, located near the great Zenkoji, embodies the idea of permanence in faith. The white fox observes that visiting this temple imparts a quality of steadfastness to the pilgrim's journey. Here, one learns that some things—faith, compassion, truth—remain constant while the world changes around them.
