Welcome to Shichisei 七星!
This website is about amateur research on Heian Buddhism and esoteric elements of East Asian religions.
I am not a researcher, a scholar, or a teacher. Take everything on this website with a grain of salt. I highly recommend clicking the sources directly.
THIS IS A BLOG AND NOT A RELIABLE SOURCE OF INFORMATION
This site is run by layman Shingō 真強
(11/03/2026) Hello! As my interests got broader in many many aspects, including the Buddhist, the esoteric and the technological, a revamp is coming in a near (and vague...) future. All old content will stay (with errors hopefully amended...), and the website will stay lightweight. What I'm planning is most likely a PHP rewrite, and of course, more content by yours truly. Also, I need to find a non-intrusive way to not get my stuff fed to the ai slop overlords, sigh!
