#117 Tōkōji Temple Okuribi

Hagi shi, Yamaguchi ken

(August, 2022)

(January, 2023 at daytime)


Mantoue - Mukaebi (Welcome fire 8/13 at Daishoin Temple) and Okuribi (Sending-off fire 8/15 at Tōkōji Temple) during Obon. Obon is an event to enshrine the spirits of ancestors. At night, all the stone lanterns are lit up by candlelight, one by one. Surrounded by the peaceful temple grounds, the gentle candlelight makes for a magical atmosphere.

The graves of the Mōri lords are separated into two temples: Daishōin Temple and Tōkōji Temple. 10 massive graves are at Tōkōji Temple.
