Abason Village Visit

Chiiwa shrine 千磐神社 famous for its huge trees and clear water water clears - to quench the thirst of all the demons

Abason, 阿波村, the village of Aba in Northern Okayama, north to Tomada district and bordering to Tottori, with a small pass leading over the mountains to Chizu town.


The shrine Chiiwa Jinja 千磐神社 looked rather forelorn and not in use. The wooden stage for the lion dance was in a very bad shape, certainly not ready to be used for this year's autumn festival.

In summer, the demons are out there in the heat :

邪鬼が踏む大和盆地の暑さかな
jaki ga fumu Yamato bonchi no atsusa kana

as if the demons
tread on the Yamado plains -
this heat

Kadokawa Haruki 角川春樹 (1942 - )


This year the summer heat was especially HOT, and it seems all demons had come out to dance in all of Japan. ....

seeing this huge bolder as a natural basin reminded me that the cool water of the River Yoshiigawa will now bring coolness to Okayama as will all the other rivers bring coolness to the other over-heated parts of Japan.
