Über dieses Fest
Dazaifu Tenmangu holds two linked rituals on January 7. Usokae Shinji starts at 18:00 at Tenjin Hiroba, where worshippers exchange carved wooden bullfinches in the dark, and some of the carvings hide a lucky gold one. Onisube Shinji follows, with about 300 parishioners taking roles to drive out the oni, and sacred fire lights piled pine needles and straw at around 21:00.
