Momona's taro festival

Momona's taro festival

Event Overview

It is an event in early spring to pray for a bumper harvest of the year or a disease-free disaster, and features are found in a traditional ritual organization called the unique shinjen (shinshin, an offering that can be used as a meal to the god) and the tumi bannakama (tsumiban) made using taro. Prior to the start of the farm work, about 90 taro are stacked in a mountain shape to create a pair of large shinjas with decorations, and dedicated to the Ujijin to pray for a good harvest of the year. The dedicated taro shinjin is distributed to each of Ujiko's houses after the festival at the shrine and eaten in the hope of a disease-free disaster.
