Oyumi-hajime Shinji (First Archery Ritual)
御弓始神事
Fushimi Inari Taisha's Oyumi-hajime is held at the start of the year to drive away evil and dark spirits and welcome the light. After the rite in the main hall, the deputy chief priest shoots sacred arrows to the four directions of heaven and earth in the shrine garden, and two priests then shoot true arrows at the great target. It is said that how the arrows strike foretells the year's harvest.
