On December 7th and 8th about 5000 radishes are cooked and 10,000 meals consumed during Senbon Shaka-dō's 'Radish Boiling Festival' (大根焚 'Daikon-daki').
There are many theories about the symbolism of the radish...one suggests the cross-section resembles a mirror, a symbol of enlightenment (December 8th is the date Buddha reached Nirvana).
