A lion's head

[Kaishu] June 19, 2009 17:46

On Sunday, 14th, the last day of the Tsukiji Lion Festival at Namishi Inari Shrine.
It's the festival of resurrection Edo.
The large lion, the Benzaiten tooth black lion, and the town council
The lion head travels around the town of Tsukiji.
 
The large ceiling lion, the Benzaiten Tookoku lion, are surprisingly large than when they were enshrined.
I thought there was the whole lion head, but it was unexpected that the back half was cut.

The main festival (Hokusai Festival) two years from this year, the 350th anniversary of the shrine
A variety of commemorative events are scheduled.
If you are interested, you will need to check regularly in the future.
