A grand autumn festival held at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine to honor the virtues of Sugawara no Michizane and give thanks for a bountiful harvest. The sacred palanquin carries the deity's spirit from the main hall to the Enoki Shrine, where Michizane once lived. Priests and shrine members dressed in Heian-period robes create a spectacular procession reminiscent of an ancient scroll painting.
