This festival is for cancer survivors
People come to pray so they can stop progression of disease or stay cancer free
I went therefor my dad
Lots of food vendors
Mochi
Girls with Sake
This sake supposed to be good luck
You pay about $5 for this cup
all you can drink!
Meantime, I found a section raising awareness and money for Fukushima Earthquake
This wood is from Fukushima
With $10 donation, they were letting everyone carve a little to make a goddess
They go all over Japan so everyone has chance to carve
When it's done, it will go back to Fukushima
They gave me a pouch so I can save the chip
The professional just place a spot, and I just have to hit
things we do when you are in Temple
clean hands
light a candle and incense
This is special for today
Monks giving prayer to each visitors for better health
so many people from all over Japan
very old style entertainer
I got my share
I think they are dressing like old Nara people
This is water
I took this water to my dad so he can cure his cancer
