Collectively the group agrees that a person does not *really* need ears and a nose to survive, and so (most likely ignoring the doubts and protests of the acolyte) together they pulled the pot off with brute strength...
...along with the boy's ears and nose!

As the night wears on the party becomes outrageously inebriated.
Drunkenly the acolyte takes up a three-legged iron pot, places it on his head and performs a dance. When he later tries to remove it, he discovers the pot is quite stuck😓

It is thought that Omuro-zakura (御室桜) originated in Heian times.
The current cherry trees were planted in the early Edo period (江戸時代), shortly after Tokugawa Iemitsu (徳川家光 1604-51) helped rebuild the temple.

Reaching their peak (typically) around mid-April, the temple's groves of cherry trees are the last to bloom within the city.
Known as 'Omuro-zakura' (御室桜), Ninna-ji's trees are uniquely stunted, growing to only around 2m tall. They are a variant of 'sato-zakura' (郷さくら).
