A farmer who has produced Yamadanishiki rice (raw material of SAKE) of DASSAI sent 30KG to ISE JINGU (shrine in Ise city) for Atelier Binosei. I was invited to the shrine ceremony. The Shinto priests and maidens were well trained to act as well as to play some Japanese instruments and dance. But I was very sorry that the worshippers were not mannered at all.
After ISE JINGU, we went to HANA-NO-IWAYA Shrine in Kumano near the sea. The explanation of festival moved my mind that ancient people had done the festival with wishes.
We must continue Japanese sprit with wishes keeping the Japanese culture not only on special occasions but also on daily life.
