[Ginzo] 16:00 on January 11, 2018

I went to Sanko Inari Shrine to new year worshipping and received a written history.

 The enshrined deity is Sanko Inari Okami (Statue Okami) and Tadokoro Inari Daimyojin (Statue of Tachiki Pillar).

According to the Nihonbashi Ninobe Town Association History-published in 1966, Sanko Inari is now called "Hase Kawamachi, Sanjuro Inari" according to "Edo Sokako" (1689, 1689), but it was said that it was called "Hase Kawamachi, Sanjuro Inari" because it was recommended in the residence of Kabuki actor Sanjuro Seki (second generation) who was singing master's art. It is said that it was changed to Sanko Inari. (Omitted) It is said that Sanjuro Seki, an Osaka Kabuki actor who appeared at Nakamura-za, Sakaimachi (currently the name of the town at the time of editing the history of Yoshimachi 2-chome Ichimachi Town Association) was acting while there was a flash of spirit in the hall, and the audience seemed to be shining in his art form and made his admired fame immovable. Since he is dedicated to the sacred seal of Fushimiinari in the garden, this is due to the protection of Shinmei and the two letters of his own three and light, Sanzo Tateishi of Hase Kawamachi laid it in the garden and revered it as a guardian god in the town. (Hereafter, I will omit it.)

The missing cat returns safely.

A stone monument (Koshi January 1954) named "Sanko Inari Shrine Approach" (Koshi January 1954), Shimo-Ochiai, Shinjuku-ku, Tokushichi Mishima (Professor Todai) and Fumiko prayed to the shrine when his cat was unknown. It was erected in gratitude for returning safely for the first time in three months.

(sacred object of worship of Sanko-jinja Shrine will return)

At the time of the Great Kanto Earthquake, chief priest of Sanko-jinja Shrine ran away from sacred object of worship (to Miharu Village in Kukai, Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture) and ran away. Thus, sacred object of worship returned safely to Hori Tomecho. 

 And this story, which had many spiritual experiences, was transmitted, and it became a place to be revered in various fields. <Omitted>

In the history, "Edo Kabuki" and "Yoshiwara Yukaku" are also described. Next time you visit us, please write your history. It will certainly benefit you.

On January 4th of the New Year, you will receive sacred wine and you will feel refreshed with your body hair and five organs.
