2016 Sanno Festival Shitamachi Association imperial procession Follow-up Report 2016

[Silver] June 14, 2016 18:00

On June 12, 2016, "Shitamachi Union imperial procession" was held.

 

The section is the grand imperial procession between Kyobashi and Nihonbashi, between the so-called "giboshi" and "giboshi" and 15 portable shrine floats.

This is a report from the "ceremony" such as congratulations to guests held at 12:10 and woodworking by the Edo Fire Memorial Party.

When you look at the floats and portable shrine from the third floor of Tokyo Square Garden, where young leaves grew and trees grew, many people already gathered.

Next, we heard the woodworking by the Edo Fire Memorial Party.

The people of Chuo FM also broadcast live on site today.

What I heard from 84.0 was the interaction between Akco and Shiho, and the song of the festival mumbo.

 

Then, we started to pursue the direction of Nihonbashi, where floats and portable shrine progress.

The photo shows a float on the way home from Sakura, going in front of Mizuho Bank in Kyobashi and in front of Pilot Pen Station. It's like a kabuki lion.

 In front of Takashimaya, a party, led by the priest, arrives one after another.

 The children were also working hard, pulling the rope, and had their father shoulder to support them.

The mikoshi that went to Nihonbashi is back in front of Takashimaya. portable shrine's top is giboshi. And in the part called "Komafuda" below it, there is the word "Japan's best". This is the portable shrine of Nihonbashi 1-chome.

 The last one at this Shimomachi Union imperial procession is the "Insert" at Nihonbashi Takashimaya. Upon arriving, portable shrine entered the heavy front entrance of Takashimaya, which became an important cultural property, by a man who led the raising and lowering of the portable shrine called the Woodhead, and was vigorously filled the space.

 After this, the portable shrines in each town return to their hometowns and go around the town of shrine parishioner. At Nihonbashi Plaza, I met portable shrine, a courtesy call.

Nihonbashi is an area with few residents, but thanks to the support of companies and the enthusiasm of those who strive for companies and shops, I realized that the grand festival continues and will continue in the future.
