10 minutes walk from our office, there is a shrine called "Hanazono jinja."
On the "Rooster Day" of Chinese zodiac in November, people make a wish for better business, health, and family safety or for getting rid of evil spirit at "Torino-ichi" by buying ornaments decorated with gods, cats, and rice in this harvest season.
At the "matsuri" festival, people eat "yakisoba" cooked noodle with special source, "yakitori" grilled chicken, and "sake."
In Japan, we have "yaoyorozu-no kami" millions of god. We thank many gods in each occasion such as land of god, water of god, and any. We appreciate what we have given by having "matsuri" festival, so we have hundreds of "matsuri" in a year.
If you find "matsuri" sometime, somewhere in Japan, please enjoy it!
