Ritual Cleansing

  • Category:Event
The Yomiuri ShimbunWorkers dust under the eaves of the Great Main Hall of Naritasan Shinshoji temple in Narita, Chiba Prefecture, on Thursday.

Called susu-harai, the yearend dusting took place once a senior temple priest began the goma fire ritual just before 5 a.m. About 40 workers and priests dusted using bamboo about 10 meters tall. About 3 million visitors are expected at the temple over the first three days of the New Year.
