The Botamochi offering
The dedicated Botamochi will be thrown at the main hall.
|
The botamochi will be offered to the people's mouths as a lucky charm for preventing bad luck and will be dedicated to the mountains, farmlands and the coastline of the Kanto area.

|
"If the life of Nichiren Shonin had ended at this Tatsunokuchi, Soshu, maybe this place could have not been a pure land."
|
