Bonfire Ritual at Ogo Town
In the first episode of *Maebashi Witches*, the main characters gather on a winter night in an open space, surrounded by burning kadomatsu and shimenawa. The red flames illuminate their figures, with sparse houses and snowy fields in the background. An elderly woman is organizing the fire, and the witches help or watch—a local tradition to send off the old year and welcome the new one.
