こんにちは。

ジェニのピカピカ日本語へようこそ。

Today, I would like to introduce you to another fire festival, the Hi-furi Shinji ritual in Kumamoto.

The "Hifuri Shinji"火振り神事 (fire sprinkling ritual) will be held at Aso Shrine 阿蘇神社 in Aso City, Kumamoto Prefecture 熊本県.

 

This is a ritual to celebrate the marriage of the Princess Goddess 姫神 the National Dragon God 国龍神 the rice-growing festival to pray for a good harvest in the Aso region. When a bundle of thatch at the end of a rope is lit on fire and swung around, a ring of flames overlaps each other, decorating the temple at night.

There are so many different fire festivals in Japan.

Thank you again for listening to me today.

Don't forget to follow me.


またね。
