25 October, Monday - Moon day, moon in Aries (the 18th day)
Most of the participants in the fire ritual held at Honsenji were women.
That symbolizes the reality.
(Japanese) Women are more earthy, religious, strong... .. .. ...and, and, and.
↓ See? Guys were just standing outside the fire.
Bonzu encouraged us.
Taiko drummers too. They made us feel brave.
Filled with joy!
All of the participants could walk barefoot on fire. (low fire)
Washed off the ashes.
Sure, you can join too.
Don't forget to wear smoky coloured clothes!
