Oshiroi Matsuri, A Strange Festival in Kyushu that has continued for over 300 years

【Oshiroi Matsuri, a strange festival in Kyushu that has continued for over 300 years】 Oyamazumi Shrine is located in Asakura City, Fukuoka Prefecture. “Oshiroi Matsuri” is held once a year at the shrine located in a beautiful satoyama, where people make each other's faces completely white. Oshiroi is a unique custom in Japan, in which people make up their faces with powdered new rice and apply it to each other to thank the gods for a good harvest and pray for a bountiful harvest in the coming year. As the saying goes, “You must not wash or remove the white face powder until you get home,” and the spectacle of everyone walking through the satoyama with their white faces still on is a sight to behold.
