History

Byakko

As a sub-temple of Daitokuji, Sokenin perpetuates the Zen legacy of Oda Nobunaga and continues his spiritual vision. For centuries, monks and practitioners have sought enlightenment within its walls through rigorous meditation. The profound silence of Zen practice transcends time itself, revealing the boundless nature of consciousness.
