Atago (Jizobon) - Atago

..."There are Jizo festivals in the towns of Kyoto. In each town, the elders of each group put up curtains in their houses, enshrine a Jizo statue, decorate them with various decorations, put out lanterns in front, put up handrails in front of the house, and hold a wake in front of the Buddhist altar and drink alcohol. The same thing happens in Fushimi and Osaka." Jizo Bon was also a festival in Atago, because Atago is the home of Jizo.
