What is the Konohana Family? The Fuji Sengen Konohana Festival, 2016

xidai

There is a place where about 100 people live together at the foot of Mt. Fuji.
They listen to the voice of nature, and feel the divine energy.
It is a place for people to know the beauty of this world.
They transcend the frame of ego, connect with each other and live as one.

Once a year at this place, a festival is held that has continued the spirituality of the “Flower Festival”, which has been held for over 700 years at a mountain village in the central region of Japan.
Clear water from the temples and rivers of 34 countries (81 places) was delivered by like-minded people around the world for this Festival, 2016.

The water integrate into one in a pot over a furnace. Then various dancers dance around the pot by turns and the audience unites in complete harmony. Everyone continues to dance all day and celebrate the beginning of a new era.
