MIWATARI
Yusuke Ono
Lake Suwa is nestled in the Suwa Basin of central Nagano Prefecture of Japan. Lake Suwa, which is the largest lake in the region, used to be covered by thick ice during winter. The variance in temperature would cause a natural phenomenon known as miwatari in which shards of ice would rise up from the water with a thunderous cracking sound and race far across the lake. It was believed that this was the path left by the gods as they traversed the lake and was eagerly awaited every winter, but in recent years, its occurrence has been decreasing. Kiyoshi Miyasaka, the Chief Priest of Yatsurugi Shrine, who conducts the Shinto rituals connected with miwatari guides us what the globally rare 580 years of miwatari records is telling us.
