April 8 is the day when the Buddha was born, the founder of Buddhism.
Buddhist events to celebrate the birth are called Kanbutsue or Bushoe, and are also called folk statues and birthday parties.
It is a spring event that is now commonly called under the name of "Flower Festival".
Every year, the “Flower Festival” event is held at Ningyocho Great Kannon-ji Temple.
This year, it was held on April 4th (Sat).
In addition, to celebrate the Holy Day, the door of Mr. main deity, designated Tangible Cultural Property, was opened specially.
On the day of the event, there were many worshipers who made Hanamido on the precincts and poured sweet tea on the birth Buddha on the basin to celebrate.
After visiting, the Ningyocho Shopping Street Cooperative set up a bench with a red rug in front of the gate, serving sweet tea and sweets.
In addition, there was a fun lottery where you could win the masterpieces of Ningyocho if you were lucky by lottery (speed lottery).
Why don't you enjoy the "Flower Festival" at Ningyocho Great Kannon-ji next spring?
