Nanmeizennin

Positioned within Tofukuji's vast temple grounds, this sub-temple was built with contemplation of the Pure Land to the south. The brightness of heart the white fox perceives here matches its name perfectly. Even surrounded by autumn's crimson leaves, throughout the year this place possesses power to dispel and purify the mind's cloudiness. Protected by Higashiyama's quietude, countless spiritual seekers discover the light within themselves here.
