What did Buddhists do to attract younger audience to their religion? They made a fashion show to show off a modern spin on the traditional robes, the monks wore green and yellow clothes, some with gold embroidery and multiple layers.

The fashion show opened with a Buddhist prayer set to a hip-hop beat at the centuries-old Tsukiji Honganji temple, where nearly 40 monks and nuns from eight major Japanese Buddhist sects showed off elaborate robes in an effort to win back believers.

Five monks from each school walked on the runway, then chanted prayers and wrapped up in a grand finale with confetti resembling lotus petals.
