The entrance to Buddhist temples is often marked by a huge incense brazier (kōro, 大香炉), which is always surrounded by people lighting the colorful bundles of incense, fanning the smoke towards their faces and then inhaling it ―this is one of the rituals of purification one must perform before entering the temple.
In this picture, my lovely host performs the ritual at Rinno-ji Temple.
