Sold under the bill of Izumo Taisha Shrine in Iwate prefecture without infection. Man arrested May 21, 14:06
In Iwate Prefecture, no single person is infected with the new coronavirus in Japan. A man in Aomori, who was selling doors with the bill written "Izumo" in Iwate Prefecture, was arrested for not handing out the legal documents at the time of sale. The police are investigating the possibility that they might have sold under the guise of Izumo Taisha Shrine because of fear of the new coronavirus.
The person arrested was Shigeru Okita (64), a farmer in Nanbu-cho, Aomori Prefecture.
According to a police investigation, at the beginning of last month, when I visited the homes of men in their 50s and women in their 70s in Otsuchi Town, Iwate Prefecture, and sold two bills that read "Izumo" for 1000 yen, it was legal. It is suspected of violating the Specified Commercial Transactions Act because it did not deliver the prescribed cooling-off explanation document.
It means that he is accused of the investigation.
According to the police, Okita sold the bill saying "Izumo no God," and the two people who bought it said, "I was worried about the new coronavirus infection, so I bought it" That said, the bill has nothing to do with Izumo Taisha Shrine in Shimane Prefecture.
Hundreds of bills were found in Okita's home, and the police are investigating the possibility that they might have sold under the guise of Izumo Taisha due to fear of the new coronavirus.
