 note = {application/pdf, Oura area, in Isotake-cho, Oda City, Shimane Prefecture, a fishing port comprising 696 people as of Feb 2023, is widely known in Japan as the setting for the annual event ʻIsotake no Guroʼ, which begins on 11 January and ends on 15 January, the Lunar New Yearʼs Day called Koshogatsu. Guro is a temporary hut made of bamboo poles, bamboo grass, and pine trees, with a seat inside. The local people gather around a fire and share rice cakes and dried squid
roe with other local people to pray for a good catch and good health inside. On the morning of the 15th, Guro is dismantled, and the useful materials are removed and burnt.
 In the new Corona disaster, Guro did not build for Koshogatsu of 2021-23 due to their own nature. As a caged hut, it is inevitable that people will congregate within the Guro. There can be no Guro without conversation, food and drink.
 This report is based on my visits and stays in Oura area during the Koshogatsu period and on other occasions during the three years when Guro did not build.
 It consists of a number of small studies, all of which focus on the main deity, the ʻToshitokushinʼ or ʻToshitokujinʼ, who comes as a substitute for Guro.
