【Lantern Festival】Shirane Iino District The Festival "Lantern Festival", which has been passed down from ancient times in the Iino area, was held in yesterday. At 6 p.m., the lanterns erected in each district will be lit! Go through the many lanterns lit on the approach to the temple and pray at Wakamiya Shrine. Towards the end of the festival, fireworks was rising Gari and the enthusiasm and envy of the people made me feel a little lonely at the end of summer.

Hyakutai Koshin (Hundred Koshin Statues) The stone Koshin statue and the commemorative monument at the highest central step of the approach were erected in March 1828 (Bunsei 11) by Nobutomi Ohara. According to the monument, “On Koshin days we held ceremonies to honor the Koshin deity, and if one observed this ritual seven times one could reduce the calamities caused by the three corpses (sanshi). After consulting with the nun of the Ohara hermitage, I decided to enshrine a hundred Koshin statues along the ridge of the woodland I own. Many people from inside and outside the village helped erect the Koshin monuments. I inscribed this monument to explain the reason, to offer thanks to the Heavenly Sovereign, and to pray that my companions and neighbors would be considerate of one another so that our descendants might live in peace and prosper for generations.” In this way, these Koshin statues were widely commissioned from neighboring villages and erected, and there are 110 in total.

Tado Shrine the day after the Festival Mr./Ms. priests were cleaning everywhere. I like the scenery of the lanterns lined up in an orderly manner, like a shrine in Obon. Mie Prefecture Kuwana City Tado Town

Today, I attended the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine Monthly Festival. With the approach of the typhoon tomorrow, the wind chimes will be removed.

This photo shows a kusu tree in the Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine in Fukuoka. Every year in early summer, the kusu tree pushes out old leaves to produce new shoots. The kusu tree in this photo has been producing new shoots every year for 1,500 years and connecting life. It's a little different from seeing it in real life, but I hope it conveys the greatness and power of life.

Baikoan Located in Tsukigase, Nara, Baikoan is Japan’s sole maker of karoubai (processed plum) that has preserved a production method passed down there for about seven hundred years without alteration. Karoubai refers to processed ume fruit, introduced to Nara as a medicine some 1,300 years ago by envoys to Sui and Tang China. Around seven hundred years ago, during the Nanbokucho period, it reached Tsukigase as a mordant for safflower dyeing. From the late Edo period through the early Meiji era, karoubai reached its heyday as a mordant for cosmetic red dye, and some 400 karoubai workshops operated, but demand plunged after the invention of chemical dyes. By the early Showa era only a few producers remained; after the war Baikoan became the sole manufacturer and continues to this day. Baikoan cultivates plums, rice, and vegetables and processes food across 30,000 square meters of verdant land and rich nature. Although the plums in Tsukigase were originally planted to make karoubai, the sight of plum trees in full bloom reflected on the valley and river of the Satsukigawa captivated people and made this area Japan’s first officially designated scenic spot. During the plum festival from February through the end of March, our shop offers dining and hanami from scenic box seats filled with the scent of plum. In Reiwa 6 (2024) we built the Nara Beni Workshop. This Japanese-style building incorporates traditional Japanese craftsmanship throughout. Inside the workshop, where you can feel delicate, advanced techniques and Japanese aesthetics, visitors can experience safflower dyeing using karoubai. We hope the experience becomes an opportunity to rediscover the wonders of Japanese culture. Watching the ever-changing colors of nature and the early-morning sea of clouds spreading across the Tsukigase valley can create the illusion of being in a plum paradise. Early spring light, tranquil fresh greens, the bounty of autumn, the scents of winter. We live and work with the seasons in the strict yet warm nature of Tsukigase.

Today, we Prayer the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine. It is a "cloud" on the ground that appears from time to time. I was cooling off in the Precincts.
