Shinto...Sunshine through the Rain!!

The clip was very interesting.  The lady in the clip told her son that the procession of foxes take place in the rain and he should come inside.  Instead, he went into the woods to see what was taking place.   The boy witnessed a ceremony in the woods and his mother was so upset that she didnt let him back into the house until he apologized.  I interpreted this video as emphasizing the importance of harmony between the religious kami and the shinto followers.  The woman thought in order to live peacefully she could not let her son back into the house until he apologized because he interrupted a sacred ceremony.
