  1. From late October (since 1671) an antler cutting ceremony called 'Shika-no-tsunokiri' (鹿の角切り) takes place at Nara Park.

    Killing one of Nara's sacred deer was punishable by death for many centuries. The law was last enforced in 1637.

    Our very own Keiko-san, during her university days in Nara, would often help rounding up the deer for the antler cutting😲
