Asagao Ichi (Morning Glory Fair)

Sun, October 21, 2018, by Muza-chan

Established at the beginning of the Meiji period and closed in 1913, Asagao Ichi, the Morning Glory Fair of the Iriya Kishimojin temple in Tokyo was restarted 70 years ago. At the beginning of July, for 3 days, about 60 cultivators are displaying a very large variety of asagao.
