Daikoku -- a god of fortune -- is offering up some good luck blessings to set your year off right at this traditional festival. What happens? Highlights of the festival include the following two events: On Saturday at 10 a.m., a bone-chilling (literally) purification ceremony will be performed as "coming-of-age" participants will douse themselves in ice water. On Sunday, at noon, see hocho-shiki, a tradition in Japanese cuisine hailing from the Heian period i.e. ceremonial slicing of a big carp by masters in the art.
