We’re lucky to live near such place as the Hojuji temple. It is a rather small temple, but a very beautiful and quite important one. It offers us all kind of opportunities to assist and discover some beautiful ceremonies or festival on a small intimate scale.
The last one was the Fire Festival or Saitoudaigomakyo, during which Yamabushi priests (Japanese mountain ascetic hermits) performed all kind of rituals acts and burned a large quantity of these little wooden wish tablets. The view of this priest through the flames was my favorite picture of the day.
