This is one of the rituals worshiping the god of rice fields and praying for a good harvest. Since the Kamakura period (1185-1333), people have prayed for a good rice harvest in front of the Tenmangu shrine. Later, a part of the ritual was dedicated at Jugo-sha Shrine as “Mushi-oi,” which means to drive insects pests from the fields. It is said to have originated when people beat flutes and drums and chased insects out of the rice fields with bamboo leaves.
