August 6th 7th is the Reisai Festival of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine, guardian god in Tsukuda, Tsukishima, Kachidoki and Harumi districts.
This year, the state of the city is different from the hustle and bustle of Reitaisai festival (main festival) once every three years.
On the precincts, a large festival ceremony was held at 11:00 on August 6, and a Kagura dedication was held at 14:30/16:30/19:00 on August 7.
Still, from August 7th, 14th; 00th, Sumiyoshi Tsukuda, who wore the Reitaisai festival "also" in 2012, shows the unique thoughts and practices of local festivals, and the strong bond through the festival and the spirit of passing on.

✎One of the essential items for Reitaisai festival is the new tone of 'soroi' (a yukata that is called a yukata).
Miya portable shrine can't carry it in Tsukuda unless he wears uniforms and wears white tabi.
Women can't bear Miya portable shrine, but I hear that women can participate only in the Miyamoto Town Association <Senuki>carrying of miniature shrines.
On Tsukuda Island (Tsukuda 1-chome), there is an organization called Tsukuda Sumiyoshi-ko, which consists of only boys consisting of Kamimachi, Nibe, Shitamachi, and Azumacho. It is related not only to the Reisai Festival of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine, but also to the general religious service held at shrines.
The members of Tsukuda Sumiyoshi-ko are arranged in three categories: 'yoshu,' 'daiwakashu,' and 'caretaker,' and have different clothes and roles to wear. It was said that it took 20 years of young people and 10 years of great young people to become caretakers, but now it is said that promotion is decided in consideration of age, experience, degree of contribution, etc. The young people who are newly joined are called "Shinberi" and hear that if you make a mistake in sitting seat, you will be severely scolded, "XX years early."
In addition, the design of the Reitaisai festival garment for 2012 is,
