Fujikiri Festival
The Fujikiri Festival is every May at Daizenji Temple in Katsunuma. The purpose is to get a piece of a serpent, made from a vine, and you will have good health. ... or fortune ... or harvest ... I'm not clear on that. It's connected to some problem they had in the early farming days out here about a thousand years ago. I thought I lived in a quiet mountain area, but this festival unleashed a frenzy!
