An event was held to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Suwa Shrine, affectionately known as "O-Suwa-san" in Nagasaki City.
The "Suwa Shrine Japan Fine ~Hajimari~" celebration was held to celebrate 400 years since the shrine was founded in 1625, in the early Edo period . The event
was held with prayers for a bright future for the city of Nagasaki and the people who live there.
At Suwa Shrine, individuals and groups with ties to the shrine performed dragon dances and songs to celebrate the 400th anniversary.
Nagasaki City said,
"The weather was fine, making it the perfect event to celebrate 400 years of O-Suwa-san."
The event that got the crowd particularly excited
was the "banana selling" that is often seen at shrine festivals.
A brother and sister who purchased bananas said,
"It was fun to receive the bananas. It's a good memory. I've never bought bananas for 2,000 yen before."
Suwa Shrine Chief Priest Yoshimura Masanori
said, "Various events are planned for the coming year to celebrate the 400th anniversary. We hope that with the festival at the center, the people of Nagasaki will continue to live in peace and harmony."
On the 5th, the traditional Nagasaka Nobori Competition will be held to mark Children's Day.
