It's fun! August 26 Meeting to hear the sound of Nishi Ward insects

　The “Insect Sounds Meeting” is a traditional festival of Nishi Ward where Kamonyama Park, which has a connection to the public, is lit with all lights and snow caves, and listens to the sound of bells.
　Before the opening ceremony, a tea ceremony was held, and with the cooperation of Dr. Tarumizu Maeda, a sect of Ii Naosuke Chado Seso-an style, we donated tea to the bronze statue of Naosuke Ii.
　The venue is blessed with good weather on the day, and the venue is crowded with many people, especially in the children's square, in addition to selling Suzumushi, with the cooperation of local people, sales of yakisoba and shaved ice for the first time in four years, trapping, super bowl scooping, etc. Various mock shops have been opened, and visitors can enjoy themselves.
　Looking at such a figure, I realized that many people were really looking forward to this festival.
　I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the local people and everyone who worked hard for the event.
