It is the so-called "O umbrella" that became a correspondent in 2010. Thank you very much.

It is located at Minato 1-chome, a 5-minute walk from Hatchobori Station on the JR Keiyo Line and Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line. Since ancient times, it has been gathering local religions as a god of production (Ubusuna) and a god of production (Inari), and this year is said to be 1170. Reitaisai festival will be held from May 1 to May 5. It's my first time, but I decided to go there on May 2nd and 3rd.

 

 

 

IMG_9505comp.JPGOn May 2nd, a dedicated performance of Shintomiza Children's Kabuki was held at Kagura Hall Shrine. Shintomi-cho, where Shintomiza, famous for Kabuki in the Meiji era, is located in shrine parishioner, where children's performances, dance guidance, costumes, wigs, and Nagauta and music are full-fledged. A large number of people went out to see the shrine grounds were full and overflowing outside. It's quite popular, isn't it?

The titles are the famous "Kotobuki-style Sanbaso", "Sanninyoshi Sanba Shiranami (place of Koshinzuka Okawabata)" and "Shiranami Gonin (place of Inasegawa Sezo)".

 

 

IMG_9512comp.JPGThe children who play were from the third grade of elementary school to the first grade of junior high school, and men and women around the age of 10 who were still innocent, but the results of the practice were fruitful, and all the children were a wonderful performance that became Kabuki actors .
From the audience, "I'm waiting!" "Japan's best!" "Shintomi-cho !!" shouted, and it was very exciting. I'm looking forward to next year.

Departure from the shrine (Miyadashi) after 9 o'clock in the morning and return after 6 o'clock in the evening (enter the shrine) It is Nagachoba. There were a lot of visitors along the road.

The leaders of portable shrine change in each town. For example, along the way, volunteers from neighborhood associations such as "Ginza 1-8 chome east", "Shintomi", "Irifune", "Akashicho", "Minato 3-chome", "Miyamoto" will take turns, but Miyaide, Kabukiza In front of the theater,imperial procession Inari Shrine "Yayoikai" will take charge of the entire course.

In particular, in front of Kabukiza Theater, which was closed at the end of last month due to renovation, the building was the last imperial procession, so many visitors came and watched deeply.

 

I would like to support these traditional Japanese events together and leave them to future generations.

 

It was a very impressive event that felt the hearts of Japanese people.
