Sumiyoshi Taisha Otaue Shinji (Sacred Rice-Planting Ritual)
住吉大社 御田植神事
Osaka · Kansai
One of Japan's 'Three Great Rice-Planting Festivals' and a nationally designated Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property, this ritual sees shrine maidens in traditional dress plant rice in Sumiyoshi Taisha's sacred paddy accompanied by bugaku dance and sumo -- entirely distinct from the shrine's summer Sumiyoshi Matsuri.
