KYOTO, Dec 23 (News On Japan) –
The World Heritage web site of Toji Temple in Kyoto hosted its annual year-end market, the ‘Shimai Kobo,’ bustling with customers.
Toji, a temple related to Kobo Daishi Kukai, holds the Kobo Market on the twenty first of every month to commemorate his month-to-month memorial day.
December’s occasion, affectionately generally known as the ‘Shimai Kobo,’ is especially fashionable, with round 1,000 stalls lining the grounds. These distributors provide New Year’s necessities, akin to kazunoko (herring roe), and fortunate charms, together with collectible figurines of the upcoming yr’s zodiac animal, the snake.
