If only we could go back in time with modern technology and understand what happened in the mysteries of ancient times. Be sure to take care in the heat and humidity. This summer.

It is the area. Normally a shrine covers its local area. People living there are regarded as the followers of the shrine. We call it Ujiko. At a festival Ujiko organize it all. So Devils of this festival are teenagers living near the shrine. It is the tradition. Thank you for watching Deep Japan.
