October 15-17 hosts the Kannamesai festival at Ise jing奴, Japan. For the first half of the festival newly harvested rice is offered to Toyouke-hime, the goddess of agriculture at the outer shrine. This starts the evening of October 15. The next day, starting in the evening of October 16, rice is offered to Amaterasu 艑mikami, the goddess of the sun. It used to be that the Emperor would give his offering at the temple but, since 1871, it has been done as remote worship at the Imperial Palace.
How to Play
Six plants fill each row
each column, each box of six
no bloom may repeat
Tap an empty cell
then choose your plant from below
watch the garden grow
Or pick a plant first
then tap the cells where it goes
faster hands plant more
Red borders will warn
when two alike share a line
rethink and replant
Ticked plants rest complete
all six placed in rightful soil
fewer choices left
The clock starts to run
the moment your first plant falls
how swift is your hand?
Select a plant, then tap cells
Two ways to play: Tap an empty cell then pick a plant, or select a plant below then tap cells to place it.
