Eternal fire, giant iron pot (Dai Chagama), Mt. Misen, Japan

Kiezu no Hi (the eternal flame), the holy fire which Kobo Daishi used as part of his religious training is burning even now after about 1200 years in Reikado Hall. It is said that the holy water boiled by this fire will cure disease. It was also used as the pilot light for the “Flame of Peace” of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park.
