Eshiki refers to a Buddhist ceremony held in temples of the Nichiren Buddhism around October 13, the anniversary of The Venerable Nichiren's in commemoration of his virtue. The Eshiki in Ikegami-Honmon-ji Temple is especially lavish, with many worshippers visiting as it was built in the place where The Venerable Nichiren spent the last days in his life.
