Bon Odori is also minimal mode
"Nyo Bon Odori", which has been held every summer on the grounds of Tsukiji Honganji Temple, has been canceled for two years due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic. I think many people wanted to revive this event, which is attractive both for the region and for tourists.
This year's event will be held for the first time in three years. The event will be held from August 3rd (Wed) to 6th (Sat). A tower is set up in the precincts, and preparations are steadily progressing.
However, this year, the maximum participation limit will be reduced to 2,700, and the scale will be reduced to only sponsors and local residents. There may be some people who want to participate but don't come true this time. Still, let's take a positive look at the summer event somehow returning.
In the first place, "Bon Odori" was a memorial service for the Yulan Bonkai, and danced gracefully in memory of his deceased ancestors and close people. Recently, the purpose tended to fade, but I think it would be good to return to the starting point and provide an opportunity to pray for world peace and the convergence of the plague.
While thinking of the cheers and peaceful music that once overflowed in the precincts of Tsukiji Honganji Temple, I would like to hear the folk song survey gently in the wind, hoping that next year's summer event will be held as usual.
