Sumiyoshi Reitaisai festival "Large Nobori Pillar and Hugi"

[Sam] July 2, 2018 12:00

DSC06640ELS'.jpgDSC06644RS'G.jpg From August 3rd to 6th, Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine's "Main Festival" is held once every three years.

Sumiyoshi Tsukuda, a group of Reisai Festival, will be responsible for everything from preparation to cleaning up. One of the scenes where visitors can enjoy the history and culture of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Reitaisai festival, was held on July 1, when the festival approached about a month later.

After washing with water and drying, it will be displayed all at once at 17:00 on August 3. It is said that the Obori was approved by the Shogunate in 1799 by the Shogunate to be listed at the festival, and was also depicted in the first Hiroshige Utagawa "Hundred Views of Edo", and is indispensable for the festival of Tsukuda.

In addition, preparations for the festival are steadily being made, such as the entrance of Tsukuda Island "Kuroki Torii", the construction of "Mikariya" where the lion head is enshrined, and the construction of a "donation board".
