On January 7th, Shinto priests divine the crop of grain by measuring the amount of water in a jar (called imigame)
kept underneath the floor of Touho-den ( lit.. Eastern Treasure Hall)
This function is called "Yodameshi Shinji".
On January 12, they carry the jar to Kagura-den Hall or main shrine, and
pour the specific amount of water into the jar and seal it.
They keep it underneath the floor of Touho-den (located at the east of the main shrine) again,
untill the next Yodameshi Shinji held on January 7th of the following year.
