April 8th is the day when Buddha was born.
At Shinkyu-ji Temple, Hana-matsuri will be held at the main hall at 1:00pm.
"Hana-matsuri" is a literal translation of the Flower Festival.
The Buddha's birth statue is enshrined in a small hall decorated with flowers, so worshipers can celebrate with sweet tea.
The statue is a Buddha's statue that looks like when he was born, and can only be seen during the Hana-maturi.
