Because Japan was for many years largely an agrarian society, many of its festivals are intimately tied to the production and harvesting of rice. SANABURI is a festival, which is held after the rice was planted. The people would dance and pray for a good growing season. Such festivals were solemn but boisterous, and firmly rooted in the earth. |
