The large torch, which starts around 21 o'clock, is about 1m in diameter and is said to be Japan's best six large torches with a total length of about 13m. Hundreds of naked young children support them with karimata, and they go around the precincts while scattering fire powder, the way it burns with the flame of the red lotus is just amazing. It is said to be a disease-free disaster when you bathe in the fire of this great torch, and it is crowded with people who pray for the safety of the house, the elimination of calamity, and the invitation to open.
