Sashier Festival

Sashier Festival

Event Overview

A ritual by the Hiki Shrine in Kijo-cho and the Shinmon Shrine in Misato-cho, where the King and Child of Baekje who were chased from the country and settled in this land are enshrined as gods. It is said to be "Sashiri Festival" because it is held in December of the lunar calendar. The Hiki Shrine festival deity "Fukuchio", which is enshrined in the remote area, and the Shumen Shrine festival deity's father "jiao", perform the resumption once a year. The Hiki Shrine party visits the Shinmen Shrine on a two-night, three-day schedule. At that time, the rituals of the festival include Misogi in the Kawara, the celebration of the fire, and the night kagura. Among them, the opening fire, which is held on the evening of the first day, is about 25 yagura with flames rising for several meters, and I am surprised by its majesty.
