I made a survey of Nasubi-matsuri" or "Eggplant Festival" of Kasuga Shrine in Nishiyama area, Iga by asking the local people about the festival. The results are asfollows;1) The food and the wine offered to the gods or the "Eggplant Festival" were consisted of raw food and "Jukusen". The former includes eggplants grown "in twins", rice,the other vegetables, fruit, salt and liquor, and the latter includes eggplants cooked in miso soup, "Kyo", and "Shitogi".2) All of the ingredients of raw food and "Jukusen". were collected and cooked by `the local people who are helped by the gods.
