It's fun! (A meeting to listen to the sound of Nishi Ward insects)

　On August 27th, a meeting to listen to the sound of Nishi Ward insects was held for the first time in three years.
　Since 1965, Kamonyama Park, which is associated with Ii Kamon-no-Kami Naosuke, is a traditional festival in Nishi Ward where people can enjoy the atmosphere of summer nights while listening to the sound of bells and volunteers.
　On the day of the event while devising measures against infectious diseases, the weather was blessed, and in addition to the sound of Suzumushi, outdoor tea ceremonies (Nodate)), performances of koto and shakuhachi, all lights and snow caves We were able to enjoy the fantastic scenery of the locals.
　Looking at the smiles of the visitors, I realized that the local people continued to protect this event carefully, and reminded me that everyone was really looking forward to the local festival. It is up to you.
　I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all those who have contributed to the event.
