Sendai Ikuei High School in Miyagi Prefecture will face the summer national high school baseball final on the afternoon of the 22nd.
At the shrine in Shirakawa City, Fukushima Prefecture, at the ruins of Shirakawa Seki, many people visit to pray for the realization of the "Champion Flag Shirakawa Seki Crossing," which represents the achievement of the long-cherished wish of the Tohoku group, who have never won a championship in the past. I'm here.
At Shirakawa Shrine, located at the ruins of Shirakawa Seki, which used to be the border between Tohoku and Kanto, a 25th anniversary event was held with the hope that the Tohoku region, which has never won a championship in the history of the national high school baseball tournament, will bring back the championship flag. Every year since before, we have been presenting Shirakawa no Seki's passing bills to representative schools in the six prefectures of the Tohoku region.
Many people from inside and outside the prefecture visited the shrine to pray for the Sendai Ikuei team's victory in the final on the afternoon of the 22nd. It is listed.
A 66-year-old man from Hanawa Town, Fukushima Prefecture said, "I want you to win the championship, including the thoughts of Seiko Gakuin. I want the players of Sendai Ikuei to do their best so that they have no regrets."
Shigekazu Nishida (74), the chief priest of Shirakawa Shrine, said, "Since I've been sending a bill for a long time, Sendai Ikuei feels like a relative. I'm excited about what to do when the winning flag crosses the check."
