岩戸寺修正鬼会・鬼走り.JPG
The ritual is primarily held on the seventh day of the Chinese New Year and is held every other year with Jobutsuji Temple. This event, which has been held at the Rokugo Manzan Temples, is a traditional event to celebrate the coming of spring, and two oni are appearing at Iwato Temple. Although the Shujooni-e ritual of the Kunisaki peninsula is a Buddhist ceremony, it includes agricultural rites and ordinary people's beliefs and is performed by the entire community. After the ritual at the auditorium ends, the oni and its followers purge the bad luck away and go to the Iwatoji village to spread out the good fortune.
