JP, Osaka, Hozenji Mizukake Fudoson Temple
Time and devotion have cloaked this guardian in emerald moss, each droplet of water an offering, each prayer a whisper woven into the green.

Over the years, the moisture has allowed nature to take root, transforming the stone into a living symbol of resilience and devotion. Here, belief is not just spoken but nurtured, where moss and prayers grow side by side.
