  1. Yasaka Kōshin-dō, founded in 887, is centre for the Kōshin faith.

    Originally a folk religion, practitioners of Kōshin-shinkō (庚申信仰) believe that for a wish to come true it is necessary to sacrifice 1 desire. Desires are thus symbolically bound up as a Kukurizaru.

    The 3 Wise Monkeys (三猿) are symbols of the Kōshin faith🙈🙉🙊
    'See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil': Mizaru (見ざる), Kikazaru (聞かざる) and Iwazaru (言わざる).
