Yushimateijin celebrates the chrysanthemum flower festival every year, around November.
The temple grounds fill up with the autumn flower aroma as a large number of arrangements
of this flower are on display.
Displays are
in two varieties: flower arrangements and theme arrangements.
Flower arrangements
are displays based on varieties of the flower.
Theme arrangements
have a scene created or decorated with the flower; artisans paint a scene with
the chrisantemum flower..
Every year
there is a display of mannequins with Kimonos made of the flower. This year the
theme of the display is “Gou” a trendy sengoku period soap opera based on the
life of the Oeyo, wife of the second Tokugawa Shogun and mother of the third
one.
Additionally,
many families visit the temple to celebrate the Shichi-go-san, or celebratory temple
visit for girls of seven, five, and three years old of age.

Nice one - but not sure about the whole floral kimono thing (kinda looks like the dry-cleaning's going to be expensive). ?-)
But, I least you won't have to pay for cologne anymore, I'll be worried about the bees though
