1275-Year-Old Fire Ritual | Omizutori at Todai-ji Temple, Nara Japan

This video takes you to Todai-ji Temple in Nara, Japan, where the ancient Buddhist ceremony Omizutori has been held every year for more than 1,275 years. Omizutori is part of the Shuni-e ritual, one of the oldest continuous religious traditions in Japan. During the ceremony, large burning torches are carried along the balcony of Nigatsudo Hall, sending showers of sparks into the night sky. The ritual is believed to purify people’s sins and welcome the coming of spring. The video begins with a quiet walk along the rainy approach to Todai-ji Temple at night, passing through the famous Nandaimon Gate and climbing the path toward Nigatsudo Hall, where many visitors gather to witness this historic ceremony. Please note that this video was filmed at night. Some scenes may not appear perfectly clear due to the darkness, but we hope you can enjoy the atmosphere and feeling of this unique and ancient tradition. After the ceremony, the walk continues through the peaceful night paths near Todai-ji Great Buddha Hall, showing the quiet side of Nara after the event. Experience the atmosphere of one of Japan’s most sacred traditions. 00:00 Start – Todai-ji Intersection 13:31 Omizutori begins 24:31 Todaiji Temple at night
