Memorandum
Usokae festival is a Shinto ritual held at Tenmangu shrine. It is said that if you buy a wooden mascot Uso bird (a Japanese bullfinch), the mascot will change all of the bad symptoms which will happen to you into untrue (in Japanese "Uso"), therefore all that happen to you is good events in this year.
The festival was held from January 11 to 14, in this year.
So many people came to buy wooden mascots and had to wait in line for about one hour to buy them.
Many people preferred the bigger mascots, and therefore, the biggest ones and the second bigger ones were sold out in first day.
