Tanjobutsu (Birth Buddha) is depicted as Shakamuni Buddha taking seven steps immediately after his birth, pointing to heaven and earth while proclaiming, 'In heaven and earth, I alone am honored.' Additionally, it is believed that Shakamuni's mother, Queen Maya, dreamt of a white elephant entering her womb, which is considered an auspicious sign. On April 8, his birthday, the Flower Festival is celebrated, where sweet tea (amacha) is poured over the Birth Buddha in celebration.Collaborating ArtistYozan MiuraA Buddhist sculptor born in 1973 in Saitama Prefecture.
