Thoughts at Hōsen-ji
In *Hikaru no Go*, Hikaru Shindo visits a quiet Buddhist temple deeply tied to the historical Go saint Hon'inbō Shūsaku. He stands on the stone steps, gazing at the temple's board pattern and ancient trees, as if hearing the sound of Sai's stones from when he possessed Shūsaku. The temple's tranquility and Go's ancient heritage merge into a stop on Hikaru's journey to trace Sai's footsteps.
