Nachi Fire Festival

Description

The flames from the burning pine purify the fan-shaped portable shrines. The figure of parishioners dressed in white noble eboshi head dresses walking and chanting makes for an impressive sight. Soon they arrive to the site of the 12 portable shrines, and the climax begins.
