Connection to the seasons — Flower Festival (Buddha's Birthday Festival)
April 8th is the day of Hanamatsuri (Kanbutsu-e), a Buddhist event celebrating the birth of Buddha. On this day, temples set up a "Hanamido" (flower shrine) decorated with various flowers, and people celebrate by pouring sweet tea over a statue of the infant Buddha enshrined inside.
This custom originates from the legend that when Buddha was born, nine dragons rained down sweet dew from the heavens for his first bath. The color of "Amacha-ko" (sweet tea incense) reflects the gentle hue of sweet tea and the heartwarming scene of the event held in the soft sunlight of spring.
