Sunday morning we went to watch Mika's dad performing in a small Yamabushi festival at his groups temple. The bigger festivals are good but sometimes it's nice to go to this type of thing to get up close and actually see what's going on.
Here's Mika's dad about to perform his part of the ceremony.
One of these almost hit me. Luckily they could only fly about 3 metres.
about to start the fire.
not sure what it is that he is reading but this seems to be most important part of any yamabushi ceremony i've been too.
and as you can see it got very smoky and we got covered in ash.
Mika's dad throwing sticks onto the fire. You write your wish on the stick then it gets thrown in and hopefully your wish comes true.
