The 73rd Hongwanji Chrysanthemum Offering Exhibition

Held annually in autumn on the grounds of Hongwanji (Nishi Hongwanji), head temple of the Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha school, this is the 73rd edition in 2026. The temple's official annual-events page lists it as running mid-October to mid-November. Chrysanthemums sponsored by the Kyoto Kikueikai are displayed, centered on flowers offered for the nationwide memorial service. Last year's (72nd) exhibition ran Oct 13 – Nov 23. The 2026 dates are not yet officially announced, so the same month and days are used as a provisional schedule.
