Morning pencil colour sketches from last night event. 

On the 4th saturday of each January, the dead grass of Mt. Wakakusa is burned in an annual festival known as Wakakusayamayaki. 

The tradition supposedly originated from boundary dispute between Todai-ji and Kōkufu-ji in 1760. As the mediations failed, the 33 ha of grassland on the mountain was set ablaze.
