初申祭 - Hatsuzaru Festival/Hatsuzaru Matsuri/First Monkey Festival in Yamanashi Prefecture. Hatsuzaru Matsuri is annually held on the first day of the Monkey in April according to the Chinese lunar calendar, at the start of farming season, because the deity of this festival is the guardian of agriculture, specifically sericulture. In present day, the first day of the Monkey in April varies every year, but in 1909, the day of the festival was fixed as the fifth of May
