Koshoji Temple

新年を迎える夜。除夜の鐘が打たれ続けるおよそ一時間、 その真下で、住職はただ般若心経を唱え続けた。 108の響きと読経が重なるとき、 何が残り、何が消えるのか。 On the night of the new year. For nearly an hour, the temple bell rang without pause, and beneath it, the priest chanted on. When 108 tolls meet a single voice in prayer, what remains, and what dissolves? *The Joya-no-Kane — the bell rung on New Year's Eve to release the 108 earthly desires.
