In a document left by a folklorist named Ryozo Munakata, the event is described as a "Repentance".
The village has long held peculiar religious beliefs, and their festivals reflect these beliefs.
The "Repentance" refers to the disaster associated with the festival, and it was because of this "Repentance" that the village disappeared without a trace.
Mr. Munakata, who actually investigated the "secret festival" held in the village, left behind several other documents about the festival and the Repentance.

村には古くから特殊な信仰があり、その信仰に基づく祭りが行われていた。
「大償い」とは、その祭りにまつわる災厄のことで、その「大償い」のために、村はこの世から消えてしまったの だと言う。
