 This festival is to be held under full support of the whole community of Imoridani, and we have cooperation of Mame-no-Chikaraya.  We planted renge seeds last autumn, but because of unusual weather this winter they have grown so badly that the fields look a little empty with so fewer flowers.  Despite this dissatisfaction we are all waiting for you to come to us.
