Flower festival (Hana Matsuri)

In Japan, Buddha’s Birthday is celebrated with the traditional name Hana Matsuri. As the name also means flower festival, many Buddhist temples in Japan as well as festivity locations are decorated with flowers. One of the traditions is the pouring of a tea-like beverage made from hydrangea leaves, ama-cha, over the Buddha statues.

To honour the essence of this festival, we have various immersive programs available that celebrate authentic Japanese culture:

• Japanese Calligraphy (VIC)
• Japanese Ink Painting (VIC)
• Taiko Drumming (VIC, NSW, QLD)

In addition, our Japanese Infusion program (NSW) introduces students of all ages to Japanese culture through a mixture of song and dance, storytelling and art.
