History

Ōsawa-ji has long served in water-clear Gojō as a place of purification for body and heart. I have watched countless practitioners rinse away the stagnation of their spirits and rise anew with freshened resolve. The power to nurture hearts as clear and resilient as pure water dwells eternally here.
