History
True to its name—Mitsugen, the secret realm—this place holds the profound truths of the universe. The Karikawa hall here was where ancient masters achieved enlightenment. The path to that transparent, radiant state of awakening begins here, in this sanctuary where the boundaries between worlds grow thin.
