お久しぶりです。
仮面女子の猪狩ともかです。

この度は沢山の方々にご心配をお掛けしてしまい、大変申し訳ありません。
私は4/11(水)に強風で倒れた看板の下敷きになってしまうという事故に遭いました。


その日は強風でした。ニュースになるくらい日本の各地でとても強い風が吹いていたそうです。
私はいつものように歩道を歩いていました。

突然強い風が吹き、建物の大きな看板が倒れてくるのがわかりました。
看板があまりに大きすぎてとっさに避けることはできませんでした。

気付けば看板の下敷きになっていました。
出せる精一杯の声を振り絞って「助けて…！」と口にしました。
その時はとにかく苦しく、早く楽になりたいという思いでした。


それからすぐのことだったと思います。
通行人の方が看板を持ち上げてくださって、救急車に運ばれました。

後から聞いたお話では、看板は建物の敷地を飛び越え歩道全体に覆いかぶさっていた状況だったそうです。


それから緊急手術を受け、ICU(集中治療室)に入院しました。
その後、HCU(高度治療室)を経て現在は一般病棟に入院中です。


主に負った怪我は、

・瞼裂傷
・頭部挫創
・骨折(脚、肋骨、胸椎、腰椎)

そして、

・脊髄損傷
その影響で両下肢麻痺。


私は歩くことはもちろん、自分の力で脚を動かすことすらできなくなってしまいました。



治る可能性は極めて低く、
今後、車椅子での生活を余儀なくされました。



体調・怪我は徐々に良くなり、今は自立した車椅子生活を送れるよう毎日リハビリに励んでいます。
退院は今から約3ヶ月後の予定です。



ずっと心配してくださっている皆さんにまずは早く「私、大丈夫だよ！」って言いたくてもどかしい日々が続きました。
でも私自身、状況を把握・受け入れるのに相当な時間が掛かりました。

なんて伝えたらいいんだろう？

私も時間をかけて受け入れたのに、いきなり【脊髄損傷】という事実を文字にして伝えたとき、応援してくださっている皆さんに更に悲しい思いをさせてしまうんじゃないか…。

自分自身が受け入れることに時間がかかったこと、ファンの皆さんに何とお伝えしたらいいか分からなかったこと、そんなことを考えていると、なかなか文章にまとめることができず、ご報告が遅くなってしまいました。
ごめんなさい。


きっと私自身、これから両下肢麻痺と付き合っていく生活について、知らないことがまだ沢山あると思います。


主治医から私への説明は、

「脚の感覚が戻るのには個人差があるので何とも言えません。とにかくリハビリを頑張ってね。」
とのことでした。


脊髄損傷について無知な私は、

「数ヶ月で治るのかな？」
「復帰のステージは笑顔でファンの皆さんに会いたい！」
「また始球式をやらせて頂ける機会があったら次こそノーバウンドで！」
なんて、ベッドの上で考えていました。


私には【脚が動かない】という未来が見えていなかったんです。


手術から数日後、父と姉と話しました。

姉「治ったら一緒にメットライフドーム行こうね！」
父「お父さんは甲子園も一緒に行きたいな。」

私「また始球式があるとしたらそれまでに治るかな！？」
父「車椅子でも投げられるんじゃないかな？」
私「えー、嫌だよ。治して投げる！」
父「…まぁ今はリハビリを頑張ろう。」



精神科医とも色々お話をしました。
突然 脊髄損傷で脚が動かなくなった患者に対しては、主治医と共に精神科医もつくそうです。

きっと家族や事務所、病院の先生方は私がショックを受けないように細心の注意を払ってくれていたと思います。
周りの反応や発言でだんだんと自分が思っているのと違うと感じたのは、HCUに移ってからのことでした。


その日は母と兄が面会時に来ていました。
本当のことを知ったら私は深くショックを受けるかもしれない。
でも覚悟を決めて質問をしました。

私「脚は治らない可能性の方が高いの？」
母「……うん。」
私「私に隠してた？」
兄「今はまず生きていく為に体調を戻さないとだから。」
私「そっか。」
母「でも先生はリハビリを頑張れば奇跡的に脚が動くこともあるって言ってたよ。それを信じて頑張ろう。」



私は歌も踊りも特別上手くはないけど、ステージに立ってライブをして楽しんでくださる皆さんの笑顔を見ると、またそれで自分が笑顔になって…

ファンの皆さんのおかげで“アイドルの猪狩ともか”でいることができる。
そんな時間が大好きです。

だからもちろん
【ステージ復帰】を目指していました。


でもこの事実を知って…

“歌って踊らなくなる時 ＝ 卒業”
としか考えたことがなかった私は、踊れない猪狩ともかを想像することができなくて。

そんな状態の私に需要はあるのか。
いったい何ができるのか。


絶望しました。

事故に遭うまでこの先ずっと普通に歩けると思っていたし、踊れると思っていました。
急に脚が自由に動かせない、自分のものじゃなくなったような感覚になると思ってもいませんでした。


でも不思議と
“仮面女子としての活動を辞める”
という考えに至ったことは1度もありませんでした。


今後どうしたいか考えたときに
“車椅子の猪狩ともか”としての活動を
自然と想像している自分がいました。

そう思わせてくれたのは
支えてくれる周りの全ての人でした。


「車椅子に乗っていたって人を幸せにしたり喜ばせたり、誰かの希望になることは出来るよ。」
「ともちゃんは人を楽しませる、幸せにすることのできる子だから、どんな形であってもそれを続けてくれたら嬉しい。」

という家族の言葉。


「車椅子に乗って色んな場所行こうね！いっぱい遊ぼう！おばあちゃんになっても！！」

という友達からの言葉。


「その明るさで周りのリハビリ頑張っている皆さんのことも明るくしてください。みんなの光になってください。」

という先生の言葉。


「スタッフ全員、猪狩ともかと共にずっと活動していくって気持ちでいるよ。猪狩のやりたいことを叶えたいから何でも言ってね。」

という事務所からの言葉。


「どれだけ時間がかかっても待ってるから。いつでも戻ってこれるようにライブ盛り上げてステージ守るからね！」

というメンバーからの言葉。


そしてファンの皆さん。

劇場で黄色サイリウムや横断幕を掲げてくれて、回復祈願をしてくれたこと。

心を込めて千羽鶴(1209羽)を折ってくれたこと。
皆さんが一羽一羽心を込めて折ってくださったのと同じように、私もベッドの上で一羽一羽数えました。

#いがともちゃんがんばれ
という応援ツイートも見れる限り読ませて頂きました。

きっとハッシュタグがついていなくても心配や応援してくださる声が、たくさんあったと思います。
お手紙もたくさん受け取りました。


皆さんの温かさに何度も救われました。
夜にひとりで不安になったとき、皆さんの言葉が本当に救いでした。

皆さんの気持ちは確実に私に届いています。
心からありがとうございます。



私が大切な節目によく言う言葉、

【希望の光になりたい。】

こうなってしまった今もこの気持ちは変わりません。



脚が動かなくなっても、車椅子に乗りながらやりたいことはたくさんあります。

仮面女子の曲を作詞したいです。

ラジオや講演、司会など、お話する仕事をしたいです。

生きている限り埼玉西武ライオンズの応援をし続けていきたい、野球のお仕事をしたいです。

今回の事故を自分自身のために残すため、手記を本にしたいです。


挙げればキリがありません。
今までとは方向性は変わるけど、何かを発信していきたいという気持ちは何ひとつ変わりません。


そして最終的にはやっぱり、これは“神様の存在”とか“奇跡”という言葉になってしまいますが、脚が元通り動くようになって【アイドルとしてステージで踊りたい】です。

幸せなことに、待ってくれている人たちがたくさんいます。
このことが私の最大の励みになっています。

時間はかかるかもしれません。
元通りは無理かもしれません。

でも必ず笑顔で「久しぶり！」って元気な姿で皆さんに会いたいです。



事故があったあの日、まさか自分がこんな目に合うとは思っていなかったです。
家族も友達も、事務所のスタッフも、メンバーも、ファンの皆さんも、誰も思っていなかったでしょう。

あの日、たまたまあの時間に歩道を歩き、たまたま私が大きな看板の前を差し掛かったときに特別強い風が吹き、看板の下敷きになりました。

もし、看板の前に到着する前に、靴ヒモがほどけて直していたり、誰かから電話が鳴って歩みを止めてお話したり、喉が乾いて自動販売機で飲み物を買ったり、わずか数秒でも手前で何かをしていたら私は事故には遭っていませんでした。

もし、なんてことはないのは分かっているけれど、色んな偶然が重なって私の両脚は動かなくなってしまいました。


でも、命が助かりました。
目撃者のお話によると現場は酷い状況で、命が助かっただけでも有難い状況だったそうです。



私は生きています。



このことだけは何にも代えることのできない神様からのプレゼントだと思っています。
その分試練も与えられたけど、きっと越えられない試練は与えないはず。


よく、ドラマや映画で「明日何があるか分からない、今を大切にしよう。」という言葉を聞きます。
今までその言葉を大切にしてきたつもりではあったけど、改めて本当にその通りだと思います。


だからこれからどんなことがあっても、
向日葵のように上を向いて楽しくて幸せな人生を歩んでいく。
そして毎日を丁寧に大切に生きていきたい。


私は前を向いています。
もう心配しないでね。

これからも猪狩ともかを見守ってください。
そして一緒に歩んでいければ嬉しいです。

この先もずっと、よろしくお願いします。
It's been a long time.
It's also a masked girl igari.

I'm very sorry for worrying about so many people this time.
I was in an accident on 4/11 (Wed) that it was going to be the bottom of the sign that fell down with a strong wind.


It was a strong wind that day. It seems that there was a very strong wind in various places in Japan in the news.
I was walking on the sidewalk as usual.

I see that suddenly the strong wind blows, and the big sign of the building is falling down.
The sign was too big, so I couldn't avoid it quickly.

It was on the bottom of the restorative sign.
I said, " help me... with the best voice I can get.
At that time it was painful and I wanted to make it easier.


And I think it was right away.
A passerby was transported to an ambulance to lift up the sign.

From later on, it seems that the sign was covered in the whole sidewalk of the building.


Then I got an emergency surgery and I was hospitalized for ICU (Intensive Care room).
After that, I'm currently hospitalized in the general ward after the hcu (Advanced Treatment room).


The injury of the Lord is the one who is the one

Eyelid laceration
The head of the head
Fracture (legs, ribs, thoracic spine, lumbar vertebrae)

And then

Spinal damage
Due to the influence, both lower limb paralysis.


I couldn't even move my legs with my own power to walk.



The possibility of being cured is extremely low,
In the future, I have been forced to live in a wheelchair.



Health injuries gradually get better, and now I'm encouraging rehab to send an independent wheelchair life.
Discharge is about 3 months from now.



To all of you who have been worried about me, I wanted to say " I'm okay!" the days have continued.
But myself, it took a lot of time to figure out the situation.

What should I tell you?

I also accepted it in time, but when I told the fact that it was suddenly [spinal damage.... I'm going to make you feel even more sad....

I didn't know what to say to all my fans that I had time to accept it, and when I thought about it, I couldn't put it together in the writing, and I was late to report it. Yes.
I'm sorry.


I'm sure there's still a lot of things I don't know about the life that I'm going to get together with my lower limb paralysis.


My Doctor's explanation of me,

" I can't say it because there is individual difference in the sense of legs to return. Good luck with your rehab anyway."
That's what I was talking about.


I'm ignorant about spinal damage,

" I wonder if it will heal in a few months?"
" the stage of return is a smile and I miss you all my fans!"
" if you have a chance to be able to do the first pitch again, next is the no bound!"
What a thought on the bed.


I didn't see the future that [legs don't move]


A few days after the surgery, I talked to my father and sister.

Sister: " Let's go metlife dome together when it's healed!"
Father: " Dad wants to go with koshien too."

Me: " if there is another pitch ceremony, will it be cured by then!?"
Father: " I wonder if I can throw a wheelchair?"
Me: " eh, I hate it. Heal and throw!"
Father "... well now let's do our rehab."



I talked about a lot of things with psychiatrist.
It seems that there will also be a psychiatrist with a doctor for a patient who has suddenly lost his legs with spinal damage.

I bet the family, office, and hospital teachers paid close attention to me not to be shocked.
It's been a long time since I moved to hcu that I felt different from what I think about the reactions and remarks around me.


My mother and brother came to see me on that day.
I may be deeply shocked if I know the truth.
But I was prepared and asked a question.

Me: " legs are more likely not to be cured?"
Mother "...... yeah."
Me: " I hid it?"
Brother: " now I have to get back to life."
Me: " oh yeah."
Mother: " but the teacher said that if you go to rehab, you can miraculously move your legs. Let's do our best to believe it."



I don't even sing and dance special, but when I see everyone's smile that I'm going to stand on stage and enjoy it, I'm going to have a smile again...

Thanks to all the fans, I can be "idol igari"
I love time like that.

So of course
I was aiming for [stage return]


But know this fact...

"when you sing and don't dance = Graduation"
I've only thought about it, and I can't even imagine igari who can't dance.

Is there a demand for me in such a state?
What the hell can I do?


I'm desperate.

I thought I was going to be able to walk in a normal way until I was in an accident, and I thought I'd dance.
I can't move my legs freely, I never thought I'd feel like my own.


But wonder
"quitting activities as a masked girl"
I've never been to the idea of 1 degrees.


When you think about what to do in the future
Activities as "Wheelchair Igari"
I had myself that I imagine nature.

That made me think so
It was all the people around you who supported me.


" when you're in a wheelchair, you can make people happy or happy, and you can be someone's hope."
" I would be happy if you continue to do it in any form, because you are a child who can make you happy and happy."

The Word of the family.


" Let's go in a wheelchair and go all kinds of places! Let's play a lot! Even when I become an grandma!!"

A word from a friend.


" please light up all of you who are working hard on the rehabilitation around you with its brightness. Be the light of everyone."

The Word of the teacher.


" I feel like I'm going to work all the time with the whole staff, igari. Say anything you want igari to do."

Words from the office.


" I'm waiting for how long it takes. I'll make a live show and protect the stage so I can come back anytime!"

A word from a member.


And all the fans.

What a prayer and prayer for holding yellow thanos and banner at the theater.

It's been a long time since I've been in the middle of a paper cranes.
Just as you all broke with one feather, I also counted one feather on the bed.

#いがともちゃんがんばれ
I was able to read it as long as I can see the cheering tweet.

I think there was a lot of voices that were worried and cheering on me even if I didn't have a hashtag.
I received a lot of letters.


I've been saved by your warmth many times.
When I was anxious at night, everyone's words were truly saved.

Everyone's feelings are definitely delivered to me.
Thank you very much from the heart.



Words that I often say to a milestone that is important,

[I want to be the light of hope.]

This feeling doesn't change even now.



There's a lot of things I want to do while riding a wheelchair even if my legs aren't moving.

I'd like to write a song of a masked girl.

I want to do a job to talk about radio, lecture, emcee, etc.

I want to keep supporting saitama seibu lions as long as I live, I want to do a baseball job.

I want to book a note to leave this accident for myself.


There is no got.
The direction is changing until now, but the feeling that I want to send something is not changed.


And in the end, this is the word " God's presence " and " miracle but the legs are moving back, and I want to dance on stage as an idol.

Happiness, there are a lot of people who are waiting for you.
This is my biggest encouragement.

It may take some time.
You may not be able to get back to it.

But I'm sure to smile, " it's been a while!" I want to see you all in a good way.



That day when there was an accident, I didn't think I'd ever see this.
No family, no friends, no office staff, no members, no fans, no one would have thought.

On that day, I happened to walk on the sidewalk at that time, and it happened to be a special strong wind when I was in front of the big sign, and it turned out to be a sign of the sign.

If the shoe pimp is untied and fixed before I arrive before the sign, someone calls me to stop walking and talk, thirsty and buy drinks on vending machines, just a few seconds I wasn't in an accident if I was doing something in front of me.

I know it's not a thing, but there's a lot of coincidences, and my legs aren't moving.


But my life was helpful.
According to the witnesses, the site was a terrible situation, and it seems that it was a good situation to be able to save life.



I'm alive.



I think this is a present from God who can't replace anything.
I was given a test, but I'm sure I won't give you a test that can't be crossed.


I often hear the word " I don't know what tomorrow is tomorrow, I will take care of it."
I was going to take care of the word until now, but I think it's really true.


So no matter what it is from now on,
Looking up like a sunflower and walking in a fun and happy life.
And I want to live every day carefully and cherish.


I'm looking forward.
Don't worry about it anymore.

From now on, please watch over igari too.
And I would be happy if I could walk with you.

Thank you very much for your continued support.Translated

A YEAR AGO I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE. I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE THANKFUL TO BE ALIVE AND TO HAVE ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

LOVE YOU ALL.

Well I guess most of you have probably heard by now that I was in that Plusliner bus that ran off the highway near the Semanggul rest stop this afternoon. Serve me right for riding on a cheap bus, but it was the only one available at the time. A few people got killed. I'm still alive but knocked my head quite hard. The lady next to me flew out the front window. She's dead.

I'll go get all the head scans etc done tomorrow, but I am fine I think. Just a little bit shaken.

There was a noisy kid behind me that kept on kicking my chair and waking me up throughout the journey. I kinda wish HE was dead, but they say, that's not a nice thing to wish on children, no matter how annoying they are.

I still don't know how to tell my mom, because she'll panic and forbid me from riding the bus ever again. Well I guess she'll know now.

I asked one friend who was 30 minutes away if he could help come get me. He told me he didn't know where it was, even though it was right on the highway, and I gave him the location, and then he asked me, "Can't you get yourself a cab?". And he's ignored every consequent text from me from thence onwards. Some friend, huh... LOL. I do have to thank Alex for going out of his way, even though he's in Bangkok, to get one of his friends to drive over and pick me up. I should've accepted that offer. And Firdaus was really helpful with al the calls and stuff. Thank you for that, guys. I really needed you. And you came through.

I just want everybody to know I am ok. I am just a bit shaken, but I gotta shake this off and concentrate on the wedding gig I have to sing at tomorrow. And then I can process all of this and perhaps think how to go about suing the bus company and putting them out of business. Accidents happen, but the way this was handled was reprehensible.

The accident occurred around 530pm. Plusliner was supposed to send another bus to pick us up from Penang, which is 30 minutes away. It is now 930pm and most of the passengers (whose own families haven't come to get them) and I are still waiting. The police have come to take our statements, The bus company officers have come, sniffing their ugly noses, trying to find a way to weasel themselves out of the blame. Fucking super efficient bunch of assholes aren't they..... The Plusliner representative just asked us to lug our bags across the grass again and cross the highway to the other side in pitch darkness. Thank God the people working the cranes to remove the accident debris on the highway stopped us. Otherwise there'd have been more deaths from being run over by cars. I have never felt more like I am living in a third-world-country than I am right now, today.

Even the idiot tudung-clad girl selling drinks at the store had the nerve to ask me, "Would you ever ride a bus again after this, and what did the police ask you?" "Police asked me how big my dick was. Whatddaya think they asked me, asshole??!!" Of course I didn't say that... I gave her a cold stare that made her shut the fuck up right away. Some of these cunts really need to learn their place, and get their mouths sewn up.

I really just wanna get home.

It was such a jolt when it all happened, we were thrown around in the bus. I really thought I was gonna die. And the only thoughts that ran through my head were my mom and my sisters and my Oscar and my Fifi. And I thought to myself, "I hope they know how much I love them..."... Soppy, right???

I've never been happier to be alive.

If you feel bad for me, please send me diamonds.

Thanks.

All four kings were invested as Trongsa Penlop (“governor”) prior to ascending the throne. The dzong is a massive structure with many levels, sloping down the contours of the ridge on which it is built.

June 14th 2016 - Day 03: Bumthang.
Today Morning after breakfast we will drive to visit Mebar Tsho - the Burning Lake. According to the legend Terton Pema Lingpa had a vision of the sacred treasures that Guru Rimpoche had hidden within the lake centuries earlier. However the people of Tang and the local ruler were cynical of his claims. In order to prove his claims, Pema Lingpa held a butter lamp in his hand as he jumped into the lake. After remaining under water for a long time he re-emerged holding a chest and a scroll of paper with the butter lamp held in his hand still burning bright. Thereafter, the lake came to be known as Mebartsho (the burning Lake).
The Burning Lake, Mebar Tsho is located along the way to the Tang village ,over the feeder road under Bumthang valley. It takes approximately thirty minutes drive to the Mebar Tsho from Chamkhar town.

Mebar Tsho is considered one of the most sacred sites in the region as it is related to the renowned religious treasure reveler (Terton) Terton Pema Lingpa. Pema Lingpa is considered an incarnated disciple of Padmasambhava who discovered treasure within the lake in late 15th century.
Today this small fresh water lake is a sacred pilgrimage site for the Bhutanese with bright multicolored prayer flags surrounding it and a small altar dedicated to Terton Pema Lingpa has also been set up. On auspicious days people offer butter lamps at the lake. Many tourist visit the site to observe spectacular beauty of this important historical and religious site.

Then we drive back to Chumey and witness the festival.

NIMALUNG FESTIVAL
Nimalung Lhakhang is located in Chumey in Bumthang. It is approximately a 15 minute drive from the road that branches off from the village of Chumey.
The Lhakhang was co-founded by Dasho Gonpo Dorji and Doring Trulku Jamyang Kunzang, the third mind-aspect reincarnation of Terton Jigme Lingpa in 1935.

The main relic of the two-storied temple is a magnificent statue of Guru Rimpoche. The monastery is decorated with murals of the Nyingmapa and Drukpa traditions. There are also paintings of Guru Rimpoche and his disciples, the lineage of Terton Pema Lingpa, and several Buddhist masters affiliated with the monastery.

One of the most important festivals held at the Lhakhang is the Kaling Zhitro Drubchen. It was initiated by Doring Trulku and he was the first person to have started the rite in Bhutan. It is held on the first fifteen days of the first month of the Bhutanese calendar.

The local Tshechu is held once a year in the 5th month of the Bhutanese calendar. During the Tshechu an awe-inspiring Thongdrol (gigantic scroll painting) of Guru Rimpoche is put on display for attendees. The Thongdrol is nine meters long and twelve meters wide and in addition to inspiring wonder is said to cleanse the sins of all those who look upon it. The Thongdrol which was donated by Lopen Pemala and was consecrated in June 1994 in the presence of a large crowd of villagers by Lhalung Thuksey Rimpoche, the reincarnation of mental aspect of Pema Lingpa. During the festival, a series of colorful and spectacular mask dances are performed.

After the festival we also visit the Yathra (woolen cloths) weaving factory then we stroll in the town and drive back to hotel.
Dinner & O/N Hotel Mepham Guest house or Similar

June 15th 2016 – Day 04: Bumthang (Kurjey Festival)
In the morning, we will visit Jambay Lhakhang, built in 659 by Tibetan King Sontsen Gampo to pin down a giant demon who was obstructing the spread of Buddhism. In the October month, the Jambay Lhakhang Drup, which is sacred & one of the most colourful festivals in Bhutan.
We will also visit Kurjey Lhakhang (left-bottom), one of the most sacred monasteries in Bhutan. Built by the Guru Rinpoche in 1652, it houses a rock with his body imprint. Legend has it that Guru Rimpoche manifested as a Garuda to defeat the demon Shelging Karpo who had taken the form of a white lion. And we will also witness the festival here.

KURJEY FESTIVAL
The festival takes place at Kurjey Temple, located at Kurjey in the Chokhor valley in Bumthang district. It is a 15 minute drive from our hotel to arrive at the temple grounds.
The history of the temples at Kurjey is associated with Sindhu Raja and Guru Rimpoche. Sindhu Raja invited Guru Rimpoche from Nepal to Bhutan to subdue some evil spirits that had been plaguing the land. Upon invitation, Guru Rimpoche visited Bumthang and meditated in a cave that resembled a pile of Dorjis (stylized thunderbolt used for Buddhist rituals). After subduing the evil spirits and demons, imprints of the Guru’s body remained in the rock face. Thereafter, the name came to be known as Kurjey meaning - “Imprint of the body”. The Lhakhang is now a blessed site of great historical significance.

There are three main temples at Kurjey. The oldest temple was constructed on the site where Guru Rimpoche meditated by Minjur Tenpa the first Trongsa Penlop (Governor of Trongsa) in 1652.

The second temple was founded by Gongsar Ugyen Wangchuck (1st King) in 1900 while serving as the 13th Trongsa Penlop. This temple is the most sacred as it was built in the place where Guru Rimpoche left his body imprint.

The third temple was built in the 1990s. It was sponsored by the Queen Mother Ashi Kezang Choden Wangchuck. It houses the images of Guru Rimpoche, King Thrisong Detsen and Pandit Santarakshita.

In front of the temples are Chortens dedicated to the first three kings of Bhutan.

The Kurjey festival is an important occasion not only for the local people of Bumthang but for all Bhutanese. The festival brings together tourists and Bhutanese from all over as it presents the perfect occasion to not only receive blessings by witnessing age-old mask dances but also to enjoy this unique culture whilst basking in the natural beauty of Bhutan’s spiritual heartland.
