"Kumate City", which sells "Rake", a lucky charm of the New Year that is said to collect good luck and money, was held at a shrine in Yamagata City.
"Rake City" was held at "Ichigami Shrine" in Yamagata City, which is dedicated to the god of prosperous business, and 15 types of rakes were lined up.
The New Year's "rake" is a bamboo hand-shaped bamboo decorated with oval coins and rice bales, which are said to be auspicious, and is said to collect good luck and money.
Some rakes, which are about 1 meter long and cost 120,000 yen, were decorated with gorgeous decorations such as treasure ships and portable shrines.
The visitors bought the rake while picking it up and receiving explanations, and tightened the three with the wishes of the shrine's priests for the New Year, such as "prosperity of business" and "safety of the family". I got it.
A man from a cherry farmer who visited from Sagae City said, "This year was hard because of the frost, but I did my best. I hope next year will be a year where I can recover to the extent of this year." I did.
