Bury a wish-full cucumber

Postby Taro Toporific » Mon Jul 28, 2003 6:23 pm

Image Wish-making ceremony held in Ehime
NHK TV / July 28
a traditional wish-making ceremony involving cucumbers at a Buddhist temple in Toh-yo city, Ehime prefecture...
The 300-year-old ceremony is held every year on Doyo, the hottest day of the summer, in the Japanese old calendar...
The cucumbers containing people's wishes were buried in soil at the altar after a 30-minute prayer. All seven thousand cucumbers prepared by the temple were gone by the end of the ceremony.

In June 2001, AEON Niihama Shopping Center was opened in Niihama City, Ehime Prefecture asone of the largest commercial complexes in the prefecture... shopping centers place a JUSCO store as its core ten-ant, arrayed with a wide range of outlets and service facilities, including specialty stores of AEON. They will also serve as centers for AEON's activities involving environmental protection and social contribution... drugstore alliance has grown to become the largestin the country through tie-ups with leading companies andhas adopted the name, "AEON welcia STORES." The name "welcia" was coined by combining "well," meaning "healthy," with the Latin suffix "cia," which denotes a country. As such, it symbolizes the alliance's mission to make its stores centers of health for consumers in each community....to pursue its concept as a "glocal" (global & local) retailer
