Saisaki-mode

Sai-saki-mode is a term used to describe the Hatsumōde of 2021 (the third year of Reiwa) in the midst of the third wave of the new coronavirus infection epidemic. It was first proposed by a shrine in Fukuoka Prefecture and recommended by the Fukuoka Prefecture Shrine Agency.[1]

Originally, there was a Japanese culture of greeting each other at the end of the year and wishing each other a happy new year, and it quickly spread across the country because it matched the feeling of wishing for a "good luck" new year by completing preparations for the New Year by the end of December. There are also shrines and temples that call it "Koshomairi".[2]
