Bon Fire on 16th of August, The "Gozan-no-okuri-bi"


The mountain has the kanij, "大", which means "Big". But, the angle is not really good. So it looks more like "K", not like "大".




Oh, this angle is better to watch the kanji. You can find the kanji "大" on the middle of mountain. 

On 16th tomorrow, the mountain's kanji will be fired up. Actually, it's consisted with big torches. The torches has the fire on the day.


This is another mountain for Bon fire. The kanji is a bit complicating. "妙" is not used in our daily lives so frequently. It sounds like Buddhism word to us. The "妙"(myou) will be also fired up. Yeah, Bon fire has 6 shapes and kanjis. All of them are wonderful!

Our guests goes out for it! Enjoy!! We're looking forward to listening good stories from you!
