Seppetobe is a traditional Kagoshima folk ritual where young people in white garments link arms in a circle, sing, drink shochu, and jump in the sacred rice field to pray for a bountiful harvest. The name means "do your best and jump" in local dialect. The jumping symbolizes both tilling the soil and crushing harmful insects.
