Memorandum
Don-do Yaki festival was held at Gokoku Shrine as usual year. 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 4 January, 10 to 12, and 14 to 15 January this year.
Like last year, many worshippers stayed around the fire only briefly, although worshippers visited the shrine ceaselessly. This trend became apparent after the COVID-19 situation had subsided.
Recorded Kagura music was played through PA Speakers, similar to usual year.
I wish you a happy new year.
