Ghost Festival
幽霊まつり
A painting of a ghost, handed down at Eifukuji Temple, will be put on public display. There are many legends surrounding this painting, one of which tells that a priest drew it when the spirit of a daughter who died young—worried about her quarreling parents who lived in front of the temple—appeared by the priest’s bedside and asked him to guide her parents. Would you like to see this picture of a kind-hearted ghost? Furthermore, it is said that if you catch the incense smoke burned in front of the hall, you will enjoy good health throughout the summer, so many people gather here.
