16 October, Tuesday - Mars day, moon in Scorpio,
the 2nd day of the 10th lunar month
Okaishiki - the ceremony to commemorate the death of
Priest Nichiren who passed away on the 13th of October, 1282.
It is held at night with thousands shining lanterns.
I truly love the Okaishiki.
↑ Miniatured temple and lanterns. ↓ Priest Nichiren.
Where? Minami-shinagawa 2-8-23, near Keikyu Aomono-yokocho stn.
When? The ceremony date changes each year.
Beautiful temple.
Saying 'to repay the mercy of Priest Nichiren'.
Many Sunday photographers don't offer the money
to the temple, which is sad.
Stalls.
↓ Takoyaki (octopus dumpling balls)
Waiting for the lantern parade.
