 In 1925, the deceased Reverend Mr. Baiho Akimoto, a Buddhism priest of the Jinryuji temple started the first competition using his own money in order to save the business people from the recession during that time, for a memorial service for the Kasumigaura Naval Air Force members died in the war, to thank harvest in autumn, and to comfort farmers.
