Daily Life In Miyajima Island
MIYAJIMA, JAPAN - APRIL 15: A Yamabushi monk performs a ritual purification over smoldering embers during the Hiwatari Shinji (Fire Walking Ceremony) at Daisho-in Temple on Miyajima Island, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, on April 15, 2026. This final Shugendo rite is performed to sanctify the path before hundreds of devotees follow the monks in walking barefoot across the hot cypress coals. (Photo by Artur Widak/NurPhoto)
