Sprinkle Sand Festival] Hirose Shrine(Nara Pref.) February 11, 2024 Rice Planting Festival” at Hirose Shrine in Kawai-cho, Kitakasugi-gun, Nara Rice-planting festival at Hirose Shrine is also called “the oddest festival in Yamato. The “Sunakake” is a ritual in which sand is sprinkled on the worshippers as if it were rain.
Visitors are equipped with raincoats/goggles and ready to be doused with sand. I also dressed like a “suspicious person” in this way! The serious rice planting ritual is finished in the morning, and the sprinkle sand festival is held at 2:00 p.m.
A person dressed like Benkei Musashibo enters and first performs the ritual of bounding Sprinkle sand festival ROUND1 begins! Hirose Shrine is located behind the Yamato River, and the god of the Yamato River, Wakaukame no Mikoto, is the deity of the shrine.
The sand in the precincts of the shrine is used as rain, and the ritual of sprinkling sand on worshippers is performed. Some scenes are fast-forwarded in the middle of the film. Rain coats and goggles are sold at stalls along the approach to Hirose Shrine to help those who come empty-handed.
Sand is not only poured over the shrine, but also poured back is said to bring blessings. Sprinkle sand festival ROUND1 is over Sprinkle sand festival ROUND2 begins!
