A "Radish Dakikai" was held at a temple in Mt. Shigi, Nara Prefecture, to pray for a new year's disease-free life by eating radish cooked in a large kettle.
The "Radish Dakikai" is a year-end event held at Mt. Shigi Omotoyama Senjuin in Heguri Town, Nara Prefecture, triggered by the dedication of radishes by farmers. I pray.
In the precincts, the daikon radish sliced into slices was slowly cooked in a large kettle with a diameter of about 60 cm, while the radish was sought to avoid evil and pray for longevity.
On the 5th, about 1000 radishes were prepared, and the people who visited to avoid the trouble were eating hot radishes deliciously while avoiding the crowds.
A man in his 70s in Kyoto, who participates in this event every year, said, "It was delicious and warm. I prayed for the health of myself and my grandchildren."
