Festival at I-na-ri shrine

We held a small festival called Ha-tsu u-ma (first horse day) this morning at I-na-ri shrine near my house.
About eighty people got together to clean the shrine as well as precincts of the shrine.
The building of the shrine is too small to go into all of us, so
after cleaning, only one thirds of us prayed good harvest and good luck of this year.
After praying, we had sake and some steamed rice with red beans that had been offered to the god.
And we were presented a piece of offered rice cake cut into pieces too.

We hold the festival twice a year, July and February.
