Description
The Sunday 20 is celebrated in the Japanese Garden the DONDOH MATSURI FESTIVAL we invoked the God of the Fire, so that the Earth God wakes up of the dream of the winter. The God of the Fire that will warm up the Earth so that soon the seeds germinate and protects the harvest, he will feed himself with the small boards in which we will write words of invocation and our desires. The small boards were hung in the iron tree so that, the being burned, the flames raise and elevate our prayer. Next to the Japanese Drums, the fire ignites and begins the ceremony.20 se celebro en el Jardin Japones el DONDOH MATSURI invocamos al Dios del Fuego, para que el Dios de la Tierra despierte del sueño del invierno. El Dios del Fuego que calentará la tierra para que pronto germinen las semillas y proteja la cosecha, se alimentará con las tablillas en las cuales escribiremos palabras de invocación y nuestros deseos.
Las tablillas se colgaran en el árbol de hierro para que, al ser quemadas, las llamas suban y eleven nuestras plegarias.
Junto a los Tambores Japoneses, el fuego se enciende y empieza la ceremonia.
Japanese Garden, Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA

Shinto(神道
Four affirmations
Though Shinto has no absolute commandments for its adherents outside of living "a simple and harmonious life with nature and people", there are said to be "Four Affirmations" of the Shinto spirit:
* Tradition and the family: The family is seen as the main mechanism by which traditions are preserved. Their main celebrations relate to birth and marriage.
* Love of nature: Nature is sacred; to be in contact with nature is to be close to the kami. Natural objects are worshipped as containing sacred spirits.
* Physical cleanliness: Followers of Shinto take baths, wash their hands, and rinse out their mouth often.
* "Matsuri": Any festival dedicated to the Kami, of which there are many each year.
