(Program summary)
The secret rituals that have continued since 1200 years are still taking place every year from January 8th to 7th at "To-ji Temple" famous for the symbol five-storied pagoda in Kyoto. "Seven days after the end of the day." This ritual, which takes place in a hall where only selected monks enter, is permitted for the first time this time in a ceremony that involves all people living in Japan.
What was projected was a hall with a huge mandala (mandala) representing the whole universe, a form in which the whole priest prays for the happiness of all living high priests. Furthermore, it has been revealed that the five-story pagoda and the three-dimensional mandala lined with the Buddha statues hide the magnificent secrets that are deeply related to this ritual. We will introduce the unknown story of the famous temple and Toji, representing Kyoto with 8K high-definition images, centering on the arcane that lasts for 1200 years.
