Ring in Shirasagi shrine 茅輪

At the end of July, which is almost same to the end of June in the lunar calender, people go through the miscanthus wring three times. 農曆六月末日,人們走過三次神社茅輪。

    Miscanthus is the scientific name of a kind of pampas grass.

  5. It looks like a big beautiful hula hoop, but more symbolic. Can anyone walk through it and is it for good luck?
