Nara “Daimonji Okuribi” -Great bonfire for seeing off spirits! This fire festival is performed each year on August 15th and one of the most famous summer events in Nara. Fire is set at 108 grates placed on Mt. Takamado, and the fires produce a huge Chinese character “大” (dai) in the darkness. This character symbolizes the universe, as well as wishes for the burning up of the earthly desires within us and for the peace of the spirits of the dead.
