This ceremony is performed on the final day of hana eshiki, a seven-day Buddhist ritual where 10 kinds of flowers are offered to pray for national prosperity. At night, five demons enter the temple grounds holding large torches and run around the stage waving the flames as sparks shower all around. At the end of the ceremony, the Buddhist God Bishamonten enters to chase away the evil spirits.
