Nara Todai-ji Temple Omizutori
This picture is not a fire of temple. This is Ceremony of the Second Month in Todai-ji temple of Nara city in Japan. This ceremony is very famous and histrical. It has been held every spring on March 12 since 752. Priests, with big torches in their hands, run through the balcony of Nigatsu-do which belongs Todai-ji temple.
By the way, I have not ever seen this ceremony. So it is difficult to write this theme. If you need

This was a torche which was fired last year. My uncle took a picture this year.
