On Sunday, I visisted Nittaiji temple in Nagoya with the Maedas, and we also saw a small local Matsuri aimed at kids. It was very interesting. Nittaiji had some interesting Buddhist artifacts that were donated by the King of Thailand, according to what I could understand. So maybe that isn’t really the case. The five-level pagoda was built about five years ago, so it was interesting for me to hear that new construction of traditional temples still continues. That probably shouldn’t have surprised me though.
