Unfortunately, it rained from the morning on the first day of the Nasebanaru Autumn Festival, September 24th. However, the people who were looking forward to the festival came with umbrellas in hand, and the rain stopped in the afternoon, as though they were overcome by their feelings for the festival.

I was unable to meet the members of the Bushotai of Love, including Kagekatsu Uesugi, Kanetsugu Naoe, Masamune Date, Yoshimitsu Mogami, Keijiro Maeda, and others, as they were off to war

I'm sorry to say that this is a substitute, butI saw someone cosplaying Mikazuki Munechika, who is famous for Touken Ranbu see him pretending to be so relaxed, even using his words, and giving scented bags as gifts to small children. I did.

A delicious autumn discovery!

A special festival menu is on offer. Everything looks delicious and I'm confused. As you wait, more and more? I was panicking because it was sold out.

There was also an unmanned sales corner called ``Bokkuiichi'' where handmade items and agricultural products were displayed on benches

A system in which the fee is placed in a hanging fish cage (a tool used to catch fish in rivers, etc.)It has become. There was also a money exchange office in case you didn't have coins, which was quite interesting.

It is said that ``Bokkui Ichi'' has been around since the Edo period, and even if the market was unmanned, there was no one who refused to pay or cheated. This is a culture that I want to pass on !

I also visited each booth and found my favorites. Overall, the prices are 40% to 60% cheaper than the market price, and when you put money in, you can't help but say, ``Thank you!'' I was so impressed

Admire traditional techniques!
