Koami Shrine's "Manfukufune Nori Benzaiten Festival" was held on October 29.
According to HP,
"The Benzaiten of this shrine (Ichikishima Hiyorijin) is the Benzaiten that was enshrined at Manfuku Kotobuki-ji Temple, which is said to be the origin of Sozu Eshin, which was located on the same grounds. In the first year of the Meiji era, after the enforcement of the Shinto and Buddha separation order, the shrine and temple were separated, but since then the temple was completely abolished, so it was transferred to this shrine in 1869 (AD 1869). In connection with the temple, the statue is boarded on a boat, so it is called Manfuku Boat Nori Benzaiten.
Every year on October 28, the Manfuku Boat Nori Benzaiten Festival is held, and it is full of many worshipers. On the day of the event, the company president awarded lottery tickets to offering, etc. (If October 28 is Saturday, it will move to 27th and Sunday to 29th). This year, it was held on October 29th.
The Koami Shrine Tokyo Zen Arai Benzaiten Festival is sponsored by local companies, and as a result of lottery, you can get products from that company. I had a red mark on the tip of the bamboo skewer, and received products from a food company. I was pleased by my wife because it was the best thing for cooking.
Finally, I was able to visit you, and fortunate protection against misfortune's talismans were given new things. With this, I will be able to stay well next year.
