    On June 20, Kudo Temple (Sakamoto, Hirosaki City), a ghost painting, which is said to be true to the painting of Oki Maruyama, a painter from the middle and late Edo era, was open to the public for one day only.

    Once a year, the temple is open to the public with a ghost image, "Hangonukounozu," which is held on May 18, the lunar calendar. This year, the event "Tour to listen to the story of "Okyo no Ghost" while watching the Oghost Ghost Image" was held for the first time, and about 100 people visited.

    According to the chief priest, Mitsuaki Sudo, it was open to the public for only 1 hour from 12:00, but this year, according to the tour plan, the rakugo "ghost of ghost" by Rakugo artist Sanyutei Kaneyoshi ends at 13:45 It is said that it was released twice until 30 minutes.

    "I am open to the public once a year to memorialize the wife of Okyo Maruyama, who is said to have died his life as a model for ghost paintings. I hope it will be held by many people twice this year. I went."

    It is said that it will rain on the day of the release, and this year's sky has attracted the attention of visitors and tour organizers. In Aomori prefecture this year, there are concerns about water shortages due to precipitation that is less than 30% of the normal year.

    Hirosaki on that day was fine from the morning, and it was fine before the show, but a little rain started after 14:00 when I showed it. Participants heard surprised voices such as "I'm going to fall" and "Amazing", and Mr. Sudo said, "I think everyone's thoughts were transmitted."
