A rare Buddhist ceremony held at Taimadera Temple where visitors offer hair to pray for good health and the fulfillment of wishes. Based on a historical account of Princess Chūjōhime, who became a nun at the temple in the Nara period and embroidered Buddhist Sanskrit characters using threads made from her cut hair, participants personally place their hair at a hair mound as an offering.
