... Shogoin-Monzeki Temple ... The town around the temple looked different from usual. It looked crowded and the booths of the Yatsuhashi Japanese sweets lined. Junteido Temple, one of the sub-temples of Shogoin-Monzeki has an annual event called Godairiki-san which is worship for five bosatsu Buddha statues on February 23rd.
You can see a little different costume from the usual monk’s one at this temple. The costumed people are called Yamabushi, who walk, walk and strive for training in the mountain. This is one of the Buddhism training. They usually dangle the triton from their waist. Shogoin-Monzeki Temple is the head temple of Yamabushi worship.
On this day, free kasujiru miso soup with sake is served. You can enjoy an unique winter event and be warm up!

Yatsuhashi Kengyō 八橋 検校
(1614–1685) was a Japanese musician and composer from Kyoto. The name Kengyō is an honorary title given to highly skilled blind musicians.
Yatsuhashi, who was born and died in Japan, was originally a player of the shamisen, but later learned the koto from a musician of the Japanese court. Originally restricted to the court, Yatsuhashi is credited as the first musician to introduce and teach the koto to general audiences. He is thus known as the "Father of Modern Koto."
He changed the limited selection of six pieces to a brand new style of koto music which he called kumi uta. Yatsuhashi changed the Tsukushi goto tunings, which were based on tunings used in gagaku, and with this change a new style of koto was born. He adapted the Hirajoshi scale and the Insen scale for the koto, from the shamisen repertoire.
Yatsuhashi is also credited as the composer of the important koto solo piece Rokudan-no-shirabe (六段の調, Music of Six Steps), although he may not actually have composed it himself.
