Încă din perioada Edo, pe 9 şi 10 iulie, la templul Senso-ji din Asakusa are loc târgul de hozuki (Chinese lantern plant). Hozuki au fost cultivate atât ca plante medicinale, fiind folosite pentru scăderea febrei şi pentru scăderea disconfortului pentru femeile gravide, cât şi ca plante decorative. Numele vine de la forma şi textura fructelor, asemănătoare cu un mic felinar din hârtie.
