Here are some photos from the March 1 omizutori, an annual Buddhist festival that’s taken place consecutively at Todaiji in Nara for the past 1272 years.

Monks carry torches across the balcony and draw large circles with the fire as sparks rain down on visitors, protecting them from evil and signaling the arrival of spring.

Amazing this has never caused a temple fire though.
