A course on drawing at temples associated with Kobayashi Issa🐸🐸🐸✨
Founded in the Heian period (794-1185), Hotenji Temple was known as “Haiku Temple” and “Temple of Frogs” in the Edo period (1603-1868).
It was here that Kobayashi Issa, a haiku poet of the time, composed his haiku.
A monument to the haiku is erected on the temple grounds, and every year on November 23, a frog sumo tournament is held as part of the “Issa Festival🐸🐸✨
