Miyako Diaries 10: Paantu
🕑 Added 2016-04-15 03:53:09 +0000 UTC Alongside the downhill road to Seaport Hirara - Aya is explaining to curious Chihaya the local fest ofPaantu. It is held three times a year, with the one during the lunar month pf September the most pageant and magnificent of all. Three young men dressed as paantu (supernatural demi-gods) with dark furry coats, wooden masks, and canes, roam around the neighborhood to deliver luck and dispel evil. And the way of doing so is spreading 'sacred mud' onto people's faces, houses, clothes, cars - just about everything! And newcomers to the Island, beware - if they see you scared or trying to flee, they will very likely come after you with an extra quota of their sacred mud.
Back to Aya - we do appreciate your reenactment but why are you in a swimsuit?? :-)
