Will getting a pat on the head bring you good luck?

The people who appear at the festival of Achi Shrine in Kurashiki wearing the masks of "Grandpa" and "Grandma" are called "Suinkyo" and it is said that if you get hit on the head by them, you will receive good fortune. I visited Kurashiki on Saturday, October 15th. Children were also wearing the masks and parading around the town. They were given gentle head pats, so I'm sure they received some kind of good fortune. The "Suinkyo" had a humorous and gentle atmosphere. #Kurashiki #KurashikiBikanDistrict #Okayama #Suinkyo #AchiShrine #AutumnTrip
