Five Gods Festival
| ||||||||||||||||||
This is a festival mentioned in a news clipping found in Himuro Mansion.
This Shinto festival was held every 10 years to celebrate the five gods of the Himuro region. Each of the five gods were represented by a holy mirror and each of these mirrors was kept at a different shrine. For the festival, the five mirrors would be brought together into one of the shrines to fend off a huge disaster.[1]
In 1986, an earthquake destroyed all five of these mirrors.
