Description

A shrine ritual from the Heian Era comes back to life wrapped in the beautiful scent of the 6,000 plum trees that fill the shrine grounds. The poetry readers, clad in extremely traditional attire, read poems until cups come floating down the curving stream of the garden, whereupon they stop reading and drink the contents.
