🌈 The Second 'Smile Sowing Squad' Event Held!!

We held our second activity as the Smile Sowing Squad!!

'Clean the streets, brighten the heart'

With this catchphrase, we only do three things:
greetings, hinokishin (acts of devotion), and traditional Japanese instrument performances.
We only do these three things.

To make the town even a little cleaner!
To make someone even a little more cheerful!

We carry out our activities with these thoughts in mind.

The other day, we held our first activity in Miyamae-ku, Kawasaki City.

☘️ And on to the second event

This time, we held our activity at Ozenji in Asao-ku, Kawasaki City!

We gathered at the Tenrikyo Omiyama Branch Church and immediately set off with Mr. M-da, carrying our trash pickup kits!!

It took about 10 minutes one way to walk to the park, and while we were at it, we picked up trash and greeted the people passing by with a 'Hello'!!

We immediately set up our flag and started picking up trash in the park!!

It was a large park, but we spent about an hour there and picked up everything we could find!!

Besides regular trash, there was also metal and other things dropped, but Mr. M-da sorted it properly and packed it up compactly ⭐️

And we performed with traditional Japanese instruments, putting our prayers into it for the people of the town and this region.

While doing hinokishin with Mr. M-da, both he and I were smiling and enjoying ourselves ✨

I am very impressed by Mr. M-da's smile!!

I would like to continue these activities so that this smile can spread from person to person, and the whole town can change into a bright and cheerful place ☀️

I want to do this activity with many people!
I want to do it in many different regions!
I want to share the joy and happiness with everyone!
That is why I want to continue doing this in various towns 🌼

If there is anyone who would like to join us or try this out in their own area, I would be happy if you could reach out to me.

In May and June, we have been invited to head out of the prefecture for our activities!
We will announce the dates later, so if you are nearby and can stop by, let's do this together🌻

Thank you for reading until the end♪
