Hassaku（八朔）

Fine

Village invited me to the ceremony, called Hassaku（八朔）. 朔 means the 1st day, so that 八朔 means 1st of August. According to the Luna calendar, 31 Aug of solar calendar is 1st Aug.
At this day, people pray for safety rice harvest.
What people do today is having a party at shrine.

It is fun to drink with villager. It is like a trip abroad in Asian country side.
