Kanmei-kai
About 10 species of about 400 plums begin to swell, including Kagoshima Kōmei, Hoei, Bungō, Aoaki, Minami Kōmei, and Aiko, which are planted in the Kanshiki Tenma Palace, which are filled with many worshipers in late January and early March. On the Sunday before the death of Michizane Sugawara, the god of the festival, on February 25, a Kanbai party is held, where tea ceremonies and Ameyu entertainment (free of charge) are held.
