Mount Atago is known for its view, but that vista is interrupted here by the large figure of a man climbing the steep stone steps of the shrine. He is going to perform a ceremony for a good rice harvest and a bountiful New Year. He carries a large wooden rice paddle and a pestle and has kelp—used in a tea believed to fight colds— draped around his neck.
