Confucianism is celebrated at five locations in Japan, in November. One of these locations is at the Ashikaga school(oldest continuously running school in Japan), next town over from Ota. The school has a shrine and a library on the grounds. The ceremony of remembrance takes place by the 700 year-old wooden statue of Confucius (a treasured relic, not an idol) and is televised. Two priests and a score of city officials participate. Enclosed are some pictures during and after the ceremony and a 4 second video of the recessional.
