Taketong destroyed the crops and caused harm, so an event has begun to follow the monkey after God. Every year, on Shen Day during the lunar month of September, after serving the company with the sake and red rice brought by the sake banban and the banban of the Hanasaki district, they split into east and west in front of the palace and throw each other red rice with the \"eccho\", \"mocho\" calls. The cry contains a prayer to flourish for a long time. After drinking the sake, a white monkey dressed by Ujiko makes three laps of the palace, but there is a rule that those who follow must never overtake the monkey, and if they pass the monkey with excess momentum, the crop will be poor. From about 12 o'clock.
