なら燈花会2018の第三弾になります。今回は春日大社と中元万灯籠です。やはり街中では味わえない数メートル先が闇という状況とそこにポツンと浮かび上がる蝋燭が非日常を見事に味わわせてくれました。

Kasuga Taisha (春日大社) is Nara's most celebrated shrine. It was established at the same time as the capital and is dedicated to the deity responsible for the protection of the city. Kasuga Taisha was also the tutelary shrine of the Fujiwara, Japan's most powerful family clan during most of the Nara and Heian Periods. Like the Ise Shrines, Kasuga Taisha had been periodically rebuilt every 20 years for many centuries. In the case of Kasuga Taisha, however, the custom was discontinued at the end of the Edo Period.
