The Ritual Firing of Arrows at the beginning of the year- For Driving Away Misfortune, Forecasting the Harvest, and　occasionally for CURSING THE NEXT VILLAGE
18 January, 2021

On the morning of the YABUSAME ceremony ( the second Sunday of January- the 13th, this year), these targets, made of bamboo and paper are set up in front of the Hachiryu Jinja Shrine. The deity enshrined here is TAKAOKAMI NO KAMI （高龗神), who is connected with water and rain.

It probably should come as no surprise that here in The Land of the Rising Sun, a land in which a myriad gods and natural phenomena are looked upon and treated with religious reverence, it is considered highly auspicious to greet the first day of the new year by WATCHING THE SUN RISE. The most outstanding of the heavenly bodies, the sun is connected with what is probably Japan`s most famous deity- AMATERASU – the sun goddess and divine ancestor of the Imperial family (according to myth).
