Memorandum |
| ♦ | Don-do Yaki festival was held at Gokoku Shrine as usual. Don-do Yaki festival is a new year event that new year's ornaments and old talismans are burned. |
| ♦ | This year, I visited this festival at a weekday, because of my schedule. In spite of a weekday, many worshipers visited this shrine. While I recorded the sounds, there were always some worshipers around the fire. |
| ♦ | A handout advertising this festival described "Decontamination work was completed!" I asked a fire keeper whether a number of visitors increases because of the completion of the decontamination work. He answered "People can come without anxiety, therefore, I think maybe a little bit more worshipers came this year... At least, I think more worshipers came this year than the year just after the quake." |
| ♦ | Recorded Gagaku music was played through PA Speakers, similar to the last year. |
| ♦ | I wish you a happy new year. |
