"Tsukishima no Kusaichi" is a valuable seasonal market in Tokyo. In the past, there was a city that sold tray supplies such as horoku, ogara, and broom.
Now, the road of Tsukishima Nishinaka-dori shopping street is filled with stalls, and both adults and children are looking forward to Kusaichi. This year
It was held for two days on July 10 (Sat) and 11 (Sun), and I introduced it on the first day.
Obon supplies were sold at Hanaki Hanazono. There was also a flyer on how to make a tray. According to that, as shown in the figure in the photo, "Makomo" with offerings is laid, seasonal vegetables and fruits, and ancestors' favorites are offered on "loin leaves", and "Eggplants" and "cucucumbers" are used to form cows and horses that pick up and drop off their ancestors. It is said that the rope of "Makomo rope" is hung with "Hozuki", "Wakame", "Inaho", "Kamanoho", etc. to make a sunshade blind. "Hempara" is fired on the evening of the 13th and 16th to welcome and send ancestors.
Songs and dances were performed on a special stage set at the entrance square of the shopping street. Among them, the theme song of the "Tsukishima Monja Festival" scheduled to be held on October 9 and 10 was introduced. The song name is "Dancing, singing, whatever." Misaka Kansaka is singing. It's a very light and fun song. Please support everyone, including the release of CD / DVD on July 28.
The stalls are full of nostalgic shops such as goldfish scooping, super bowl scooping, yoyo fishing, shooting, and triangular lottery. Some of them were fortune-telling tents by three sisters. The mothers of the town council were also working hard at the town council shop. Isobeyaki 100 yen, it was delicious.
After the grass market, a tray to welcome ancestors began on July 13. On Tsukuda Island, Bon Odori begins in a corner of the town. Bon Odori on Tsukuda Island, which conveys a quiet and deep taste, is also called Buddhist prayer dance.
On July 15 (Thursday), it was the last day of Tsukudajima Bon Odori, and it was only time for children to dance, but I went to the Bon Odori venue on Tsukuda Island. A quiet dance begins around 7:00 pm along with the monotonous songs and drums flowing from the central tower. At first it was about 10 people, but in 30 minutes it became a circle of 100 people. Before dancing, he joined hands on the unrelated Buddha tray in the corner of the square. I hope you will continue to convey the traditional tradition.
