welcome my mentor
the kamakura igloo
Notes:
Dr. Akito Arima and some of the members of his Japanese Haiku Group ‘Ten’i (Providence)’ visited and stayed in Yokote City to have a haiku gathering about Kamakura, or kamakura igloo on February 15 and 16, 2014.
The Yokote Snow Festival in Akita Prefecture, Japan, which is 450-year-old festival, involves the creation of more than 80 kamakura igloos and countless miniature kamakura.
Inside each igloo is an altar to honor the water gods and pray for plenty of clear water, as well as offerings of sake and rice cakes. The festival typically takes place on February 15 and 16.
