Wakayama Prefecture, Koyasan Okunoin. It is believed that Kazuhisa Kukai still lives there and continues to meditate in hopes of world peace and the happiness of the people, and many visitors visit not only from Japan but also from overseas. There are a huge number of events in Koyasan throughout the year, but among them, "living sacrifice" is one of the ceremonies that has been continued for 1,200 years from the time of entering the temple to the present. This is a ceremony to deliver food to Kukai, who is waiting at the shrine, and is held twice a day. This is a photo of a live sacrifice on a snowy day.
