San no Rooster @ Namiki-jinja Shrine

[Nanako Tsukishima] 16:00 on December 6, 2015

Sunday, November 29 was the "Three Rooster".
 

In Chuo-ku, "Tori-no-ichi Fair" of Ningyocho and Matsushima Shrine (see pont's blog) is famous.

I visited the nearby Tsukiji and Namiki Shrine.

 
Speaking of "Tori-no-ichi Fair", it is a feature of the end of the year that sells "Engi kumade" by vigorously tightening at the stalls. Here at Namiki Shrine, there were a number of fine Engi kumade.
Nanako, who was lost in various ways, got a shrine original good luck kumade "Kakkome"

 
As shown in the photo, "Kakome" is a bill suitable for reaching the end of the year with rice ears, koban, gold and silver bells, and good luck letter marks on the kumade of eight nails. shrine office told us not to put it in a bag or bag so that lucky luck and treasure can be scraped off the way home.IMG_5404.JPG

By the way, if you get "Kakkome", you can draw good luck lottery.
The hit is "Taikin with gold leaf" of lucky items.
I pulled it out with prayer, sorry prize.

I'd like to look forward to next year.

 
It is said that "In the year with the Three Rooster, there are many fires."

There seem to be various theories about the so-called story, but there is also a theory that the grounds were "The Great Fire of the Meiryaku era", which had a great influence on the history of Chuo-ku.
In 1657, when this fire broke out, there was up to the third rooster.

 
It's a busy teacher, but I want to never forget the warning, modesty and gratitude for fire again.

This was the last blog of the year. Hello everyone, please have a good year.
