History
A temple seeking hearts as clear as the sound of koto strings. While protecting ancient tradition, it continues to feel the breath of new times. Like strings of a koto stretched tight, deep human longing resonates within hearts seen here. Ensuring culture never ceases is this temple's sacred role.
