I conducted the purification ceremony April 26 at the school in Oroville, California, operated by Cornellia Aihara, researched and teachers of macrobiotics. Fifteen persons were there. I purified all rooms in the building and a warehouse (for Japanese miso and soy sauce). Mrs. Aihara and all of the participants offered the Tamagushi to Kami. After the ceremony, I joined for an informal and enjoyable lunch.
