Facts
Observance
Observance NoteSourced to the subject's own accountThe festival's home at Ayabe was twice demolished by the Japanese government in what Omoto's own history calls the first and second Omoto Incidents, in 1921 and again more thoroughly in 1935, when authorities dynamited the compound's buildings and prosecuted its leaders for lese-majeste and violating the peace preservation law. The festival's continued observance there each November marks a headquarters that has effectively been rebuilt from nothing twice. 1 Connections
