August 6th and 7th are the Reisai Festival of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine, guardian god in Tsukuda, Tsukishima, Kachidoki and Harumi districts.
This year's "Yin Festival" means the city is different from the hustle and bustle of Reitaisai festival, once every three years.
On August 6, a large festival ceremony was held at 11:00 on August 6, and Kagura dedication was held quietly at 14:30/16:30/19:00 on August 7.
Still, from August 7th, 14th, 2012, Sumiyoshi Tsukuda, the caretaker who wore Reitaisai festival's "Align" in 2012, conveys the unique thoughts and manners of local festivals, the strong bonds and the spirit of handing down.

✎One of the essential things for Reitaisai festival is the new tone of a yukata called "Soroi".
Miya portable shrine can't carry it in Tsukuda unless he wears a uniform coat and white tabi.
Women can't carry Miya portable shrine, but I hear that women can participate only in the Miyamoto Town Association <Senuki> carrying of miniature shrines.
Tsukuda Island (Tsukuda 1-chome) has an organization called Sumiyoshi Tsukuda, which consists of only boys consisting of <Kamimachi>, Nibe <Shitamachi> and Sanbe <Azumacho>, and is involved in the whole religious service held at shrines as well as in the Reisai Festival of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine.
The members of Sumiyoshi Tsukuda are listed in three categories: "young people", "large young people", and "caretakers", and the uniforms and roles to wear are different. It was said that it would take 20 years of young people and 10 years of "time" to become a caretaker, but now it is said that promotion is decided in consideration of age, experience, contribution, etc. The young people who are new members are called "Shinberi", and if they sit incorrectly, they will hear that they will be severely scolded, "XX years early."
In addition, the design of Reitaisai festival's uniforms in fiscal 2012 was designed.
