A new month has start. October is jyugatsu (十月), its old name is kannazuki (神無月), literally god without month. All of the gods get together in Izumo (出雲), therefore October is called kamiarizuki (神在月), literally god with month in Izumo area. Izumo is very famous for its big shrine Izumo taisha (出雲大社). In every 60 years the body of the god is moved to the new shrine and this year falls on that year. I hope to visit there this month.
