Tokyo Kannon

Kannon, who has been beloved by the Japanese people since ancient times, is like a Buddha who expresses the joys, angers, sorrows, and pleasures of human beings. In a sense, Kannon is a Buddha on the path of training, not yet reaching the pinnacle of enlightenment. In the midst of the tense atmosphere of Tokyo, sometimes with an enchanting allure, and other times quietly and reverently standing, there is the journey of love between Kei and Hinako, revolving around Kannon and stone statues, who watch over this place. Here is a brief note from Kannon, along with an interview.
