Camellia Tea CeremonyLike a cosmos in the wind...🌬️
A small store behind Hannya-ji, cashing in on Nara's famous daibutsu (大仏), has created a 'Great Buddha soda'. The big ball of hair is cotton candy, which can be eaten or used to sweeten the (already sweet) drink🤪🥤
Forty years ago Hannya-ji (般若寺) was rather down on its luck, its grounds gone to seed. The then abbot came across a single cosmos, and so started researching the flowers. Little by little he began to transform the precints, and now 150,000 cosmos plants grow here!

It seems that Ekan (慧灌-Hyegwan), a monk from the Korean kingdom of Goguryeo, first founded a monastic complex here in 629.
Originally known as Hannyadai (般若台), in 735 Emperor Shōmu renamed the temple Hannya-ji (般若寺) after gifting it a copy of the Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra.

Nara is one of the best places in Japan to see cosmos, and in recent years Hannya-ji (般若寺) has taken great efforts to make itself one of the best places in Nara to enjoy the flowers...
