Church Headquarters’ Rice-Planting Ceremony Held

On June 22, Tenrikyo Church Headquarters held its annual rice-planting ceremony at Somanouchi Farm, which was attended by the Shinbashira and his wife, Mrs. Harue Nakayama, as well as Successor-Designate Daisuke Nakayama and his wife, Nobue. As the Shinbashira and Nobue—who had brought her daughter, Masae—looked on, Mrs. Harue Nakayama and Daisuke planted rice seedlings one by one together with some resident officials of Church Headquarters, some staff members of Tenri High School, and students who belong to the school’s Agriculture Department.
