You might think most of Japanese people are Buddhists.
Well, actually we take in lots of things involved with Buddhism in our daily lives.
However this festival is not so familiar. We enjoy Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and nowadays Easter. But this "Hanamatsuri" is not so familiar.
Once, coincidently, I have joined this festival at a temple.
Usually April 8 falls on a weekday, so, if we are not so interested in it, we don't notice the "quiet" birthday.
