HONO SCREENING AT KASUGA GRAND SHRINE
Kasuga Grand Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is considered to be a sacred place by many people. Its history began more than 1300 years ago when a god came to Mt. Mikasa. Since then, the shrine has been dedicated to praying for world peace, good fortune for people everywhere, and coexistence and co-prosperity. We dedicate (“”HONO””) a video poetry by Koichi Hozan, a videographer who lives in Nara, to the historic shrine.
