| "Kodomonehan"is popular ceremony in the East mountain area of
Nara prefecture. This festival is based on the buddhism ceremony, so-called
"Nehane", and also hold the coming of age ceremony. At Katuhara,
that age is regarded as 15. This is the scene that the children was going
around the villege before the festival and collected the rice contribution
from the villegers. They were walking down the hill with a big baggage
for rice, calling "Nehan-Kyahan-Oshaka-No-Suzume". Young people
have went out and the children decreased haevily as well as the other local
villeges in Japan. There seem to be no children who become 15 ages for
4 years and the festival would be postponed for the terms after this time.
