Kawasaki, Japan - 20th July 2013

By: cocoaby

We went to Kawasaki Daishi .
Today, Japanese wind chime market is held in the grounds of the Kawasaki Daishi temple.
Almost 30,000 wind chimes are brought here from all over Japan.
There are more than 800 different kinds.
It's a wind chime [wind bell], called "Furin", and usually hung outside a house to be played by the wind.
Japanese chime is often made of metal or glass.
We had been fascinated by Japanese wind chime refreshing sound and colorful.
Kawasaki Daishi has a history of 880 years over.
This hall of Kawasaki Daishi was destroyed by fire during the war in April 1945. 
It was rebuilt in May 1958.
Smell and smoke of "Goma" was full to Kawasaki Daishi.
The Goma is a solemn religious ceremony that is supported by a deeply esoteric Buddhist doctrine. The Japanese word “Goma” is read “Homa” in Sanskrit. It means “to burn.” The word expresses the meaning that using the fire that comes from Buddha’s wisdom, worldly desires (the source of suffering) will be completely burned.
We could visit famous temples of Japan.
:rolleyes:
