Oide Festival in Central Japan (Shinto religion)

 a horse-led procession has heralded the

arrival of Spring

in a traditional SHINTO festival --

disaster-hit Noto Peninsula, central Japan.

The area was recently hit by earthquakes

that will shorten the OIDE Festival down to

only three days; according to religious

leadership in the Hakui City, Ishikawa

Prefecture the

procession is led by a 

sacred horse and more than

20 people took part

(priests and local youth).

national media)
