Tuesday, January 11, 2022

Yesterday, January 10 (Monday), "Dongtoyaki" was held at the Shinryu Shrine.

The "Dongtoyaki" is a solemn ritual to send the god of the New Year (the New Year's god responsible for fertility), and with the purifying power of sacred fire, people pray for a good harvest and good health throughout the year by driving away misfortune.

We thank you for a safe and happy New Year and sincerely hope that the world will be a bright place where plague and disease are banished and people are free from illness.
