Iris Bath Event, Japan (June 4-5)
The Yamashiro Spa at Kama, Japan, is opened today for a special ritual called the Iris Bath Event. Bales of iris leaves are thrown into the spa in order to expel evil. The eaves of local hotels and homes are decorated with iris leaves and red lanterns; meanwhile geishas dance to the sound of drums played by young men.
