Message from Hiroko Furukawa

The Nigatsu-dō Hall at Tōdai-ji Temple in Nara, Japan, is a historic building where the annual Shuni-e ceremony takes place in February. Originally built in the Edo period, it was reconstructed after a fire in 1667. The hall's layout and acoustics make it ideal for the ceremonial practices held there. Visitors can witness the monthly rituals on the 18th of each month, but be mindful of photography restrictions and noise levels around the temple grounds. Overall, the Nigatsu-dō offers a unique glimpse into traditional Japanese Buddhist practices and architecture.
