Sagicho is a fire festival that takes place during New Year which is widely observed in Japan. It may be referred to differently by the locals from one area to another.

For this particular entry in the calendar, it says どんど焼き (donto-yaki). Sagicho may also be referred to as donto-yaki and several other names. One of the origins for ‘donto-yaki’ is believed to be connected to Toshitokujin or Tondosan, the Goddess of Directions.
