The Japanese saijiki contains a special category, usualy translated as observances, where the yearly festivals and ceremonies of Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines , Chinese and Christian communities etc. are listed.
Very little of these examples have been translated, I am working on it since this year ... and it might take another few lifetimes.
I will try and introduce some more as I find the time.
Here is a link to the online saijiki for now

Names of temples and shrines and names of famous Buddha statues are often part of a Japanese haiku.

If you look at the link, there are quite a few haiku waiting for translation, and this applies to all the others of the rich Buddhist and Shinto Panteon.
