At the pond is a Shrine for 牛頭天王 Gozu Tenno.<br />During the Summer equinox, people make an offering of sekihan 赤飯 red auspicious rice and place it in a barrel, with a wish. A good swimmer has to push it to the middle of the pond and then let go. The swimmer then has to swim on to the other side. The water begins to swirl and the barrel is pulled down. According to the wishes of the people, the number of barrels is different in ever year. <br />.<br />https://japanshrinestemples.blogspot.com/2020/03/gozu-tenno-legends.html<br />.<br />Gabi Grevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362456518166174106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-820047071744679108.post-22087005128209052782020-07-17T22:04:42.143-07:002020-07-17T22:04:42.143-07:00Sekihan legend from Gunma
