What day is it today?
As usual, “SeaArt AI” and “Leonardo AI” ignored instructions, but this time, don’t get your hopes up about “Leonardo AI” in particular. “Leonardo AI” is very weak when multiple people are specified and breaks down quickly.
This time, we managed to get one miraculous image, but a considerable number of images were wasted.
June 17th is the “Saegusa Festival”.
One of Japan’s oldest festivals, continuing since the Asuka period. Also known as the Lily Festival, it is held at the main shrine, Ogami Shrine, and is a prayer for the elimination of epidemics. After offering sake to the altar in a sake barrel decorated with lilies that bloom on Mt. Miwa, four shrine maidens hold Saegusa lilies in their hands and perform a Kagura dance.

To commemorate this, a birthday ceremony is held at a temple associated with Kokyo Daishi.
- The day of the founding of Mt. Minobu: In May 1274, the local steward Nanbu Sanenaga, who had heard Nichiren preach on the streets in Kamakura, was deeply impressed and invited Nichiren to Hakii-go. On May 17, Nichiren entered Mt. Minobu, and on June 17, he made his home in a hermitage in Nishitani at the foot of Mt. Takatori. For this reason, June 17 is considered the day of the founding of Mt. Minobu, and a memorial service is held every year at Kuon-ji Temple.
