May 1-5 is the Reitaisai festival of Tepposhu Inari Shrine.
This shrine, which is known by the children as "Tetsugunsu-san", is a very historic shrine this year, 1172.
The weather was unfortunate on the 3rd and 4th in carrying of miniature shrines.
The festival has been postponed for one year since last year, which was once held once every three years.
Thank you for waiting, the children were full of energy.
The half-cloth of the festival is a stylish one with the names of each town council and various associations on the back, but did you know that there was a half-cloth called "Kibiki-cho" in it?
Actually, this 'Kibikicho',
It's the name of the town that has disappeared now.
As a place, we go a little east from Ginza Chuo-dori, start from Sanjumabori, which has now been reclaimed, and cross Showa-dori to Tsukiji.
Since the current official place name is "Ginza", magazines may be introduced as "the area where the downtown atmosphere remains that can not be considered Ginza" or "Ura Ginza", but that should be the case, from the Edo period It is a different town where "Kibikicho" was changed to "Ginza Higashi" in 1951 and "East" in 1969 to become "Ginza".
Therefore, even in the same "Ginza", this is the son of Tepposhu Inari Shrine, but Ginza Chuo-dori is the shrine parishioner of Hie-jinja Shrine.
Originally, it is said that the name "Kobiki-cho" came from the place where many wood grinders lived during the renovation of Edo Castle. It is a venerable town name that has a very connection to the play, where there is Kabukiza.
For this reason, this half coat was made by the town council of Sanchome to take care of the history of "Kokibiki-cho".
At first, it was said that it was red shell, but now it is quite stylish that the season has entered and it looks like a persimmon color that is closely related to Kabuki.
I couldn't do it because it was under construction this year, but one of the highlights of the festival is the imperial procession of each portable shrine in front of Kabukiza.
In particular, Miyamoto's portable shrine is splendid, beautiful, and state-of-the-art, so when you see him heading to Kabukiza from the direction of Mihara Bridge, you will be rude to say to the Senryo players from Omuko, "Miyamoto!" I want to scream.
At the next festival, a new Kabukiza must have been completed, so you will surely be able to see a magnificent figure.
The half-wear of "Kibikicho" will also be very active.
I'm looking forward to it now!
