quote
In Kakuon-ji temple, Kamakura
"Black Jizo festival" 黒地蔵祭り
is held on August 10 every year,.
The door of the Jizo-do house is opened from midnight 0:00 to noon and Black Jizo statue can be venerated.
In the legend, in order to alleviate the suffering of sinners to be burned in hellfire, this Jizo burned the fire on behalf of the guardian of hell. It was the reason that this Jizo statue has become a black sooty appearance.
Around 9:00 a.m. many people had already come in the inner precinct and the aroma of incense which was offered by worshippers was filled in the area in front of the Jizo-do.
