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.
Don-do Yaki festival was held from 1 to 5 January and from 11 to 15 January, this year.
While I was at the shrine, the flow of worshippers did not inturrupt. Also, there were some worshippers around the fire all of the time.
This year, two firekeepers were keeping the fire. Those fire keepers were younger than the firekeeper who kept the fire until last year's Don-do festival.
Recorded Kagura music was played through PA Speakers, similar to usual year.
I wish you a happy new year.
