At the "pine decoration" celebrating the New Year's Day, I knew that "how to cut bamboo" was cut diagonally and cut flat on the nodes, but I was not interested.
Usually, what you often see in Tokyo is the "sagi" method, which cuts diagonally from the top of the nodes and does not leave the upper section.
It seems that Kadomatsu varies from region to region.
First of all, as for the cut, it seems that it has been cut sideways since ancient times, but since the Warring States period, it has been cut diagonally especially in samurai.
So, in places that value the tradition of Kyoto, bamboo still does not cut diagonally.
Today, I've been photographing such pine decorations.
First of all, the one that left the middle of the section (the address of Ginza 7-chome is good and good)
Bamboo decoration of "Sunrise" at the corner of Harumi-dori St. Are you a merchant and want to be flat and safe? Do you focus on the tradition of Kyoto and Kansai? It would be hard if the customer was injured with this.
At the entrance of Ningyocho amazake Yokocho, the site of the shop originating from Yokocho. This is also a flat-cut bamboo "shredded"
This is also a confectionery shop in Ningyocho. Does it mean "shomon Raifuku"? "Is this a laugh?"
Matsushima Shrine is crowded in worshiper in Seven Lucky Gods. I'm Shino.
At the intersection of Hamacho, Kiyosumi-dori. One leaves the middle section, and the other two have different cutting methods.
Hamacho Shrine, the god of production in Hamacho, is also celebrating the New Year's worshiper in Shino.
Nihonbashi. Long-established Yamamoto-noriten.
"Ninben" is also decorated with flat-cut bamboo.
On this day, I visited Seven Lucky Gods and shrines where chief priest doesn't usually come.
I didn't know the location of the last Fukutoku Shrine, so I went right and left and asked Ninben.
A kind female clerk told me that he was surrounded by a red lattice behind him.
Touching the long-established tradition, the natural kindness and warmth of those who work there, I was happy to ride the Edo bus.
