This is part 1 of 3 of the Traditional Shinto Purification Ceremony for new buildings called, Oharai.
Filmed on 2009 August 8 in HigashiKawa Town, Hokkaido Japan which is near Asahikawa City.
This new house is being built by an American man from Seattle, and his Japanese wife from Asahikawa. It is an Eco Friendly Straw Bale House/Cafe using some recycled lumber.
Nice! Throwing white papers to the wind and corners and much joy from the children may lead us to think that it will be a beatific Jinja...
