Hoshi Matsuri




Today on the Writers in Kyoto website:

"One of Japan's many new religions is Agon-shu, whose headquarters is on the Eastern Hills. Founded in 1954 as Jikeikai, it claims to be based on the Buddha's original teachings and boasts some half a million followers. Every year in February it hosts the huge Hoshi Matsuri, to which believers flock from all parts of the nation. For a firsthand account by Edward J. Taylor (aka Ted), please take a look at http://www.writersinkyoto.com/…/hoshi-matsuri-edward-j-tay…/ "
