The festival season has come to Chuo-ku. In the midst of this major holiday, the annual festival of [Tetsugansu Inari Shrine] was held from 1st to 5th.
I visited the shrine on the morning of the first day. There was little sign of the festival yet, and some locals could be seen in the quiet precincts. From now on, I will gradually get excited and feel that I will continue to aim for "carrying of miniature shrines" and "Dedicated Children's Kabuki" in the second half.
In the next park, a mikoshi of Miyamoto (Minato 1-chome, 2-chome town association) was enshrined in Kariya and could be seen waiting for the turn.
It is a fine portable shrine made in 1936, made by Gyotoku and the 15th Shukei Asako.
I'm sure you're proud of the town.
I received a brochure. I thought it was "Oh," because it was written as "Reitaisai festival in 2011", but there was a notice inside, "It was issued on March 6, last year, but the festival was postponed due to the Great East Japan Earthquake and it was stored. It will be reused to avoid wasting resources." I understand. Once again, the thoughts of the people involved in this year's festival have been conveyed.
According to tradition, the history of this shrine can be traced back to the Heian period. There were a number of changes, and in the early Edo period, it was transferred to a place close to the current location in 1624 (Kanei Gen). Looking at the old map at that time, it is certainly marked as "Inari" at a location slightly far from the current location. If you look at the sea from Inari Shrine, Edo Bay would have spread besides Tsukuda Island.
In this era, this area was a place for unloading goods from the top and various places, and it was crowded with the religion of those who wished for the safety of shipping.
In the old figure above, [Inaribashi] is written near the shrine. Now a small stone pillar is left around the reclaimed moat. It was a time to touch such nostalgia, where you could hear the passage of boats and the cheers of people from the past.
