Miya portable shrine Ship imperial procession

[Nojinya] 10:00 on August 2, 2015

On Sunday morning, I usually sleep slowly, but before 6 o'clock in the morning, I can hear the sound of the music drums from a distance. Yes, today is the day when the ship imperial procession of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Miya portable shrine takes place.

Looking from Chuo Daizu, several ships are gathered around the dock at Tsukuda Park.funatogyo1.jpg

And in front of Tsukuda Lighthouse, there are so many people in the early morning. 。 。

Miya portable shrine is already waiting for the departure on a barge.

Before 7 o'clock in the morning, I was pulled by a tugboat and left for a barge in Miya portable shrine. There's a big applause. From now on, we will have a marine festival off Harumi and return here about an hour later.funatogyo4.jpg

In the past (until 53 years ago), it seems that they used to carry Miya portable shrine on the underwater imperial procession entering the Sumida River, but now they go around Tsukuda and Tsukishima by boat. Just after writing the blog so far, the barge returned from the Toyosu Canal around the nose (Okawabata) of Paris Square with the sound of the music.
