This year is a 400-year festival where Kanda Myojin is transferred to its current location.
Kanda Myojin shrine parishioner includes many towns on the north side of the Nihonbashi River, but this time I focused on the local former Nihonbashi Tachibanamachi (now Higashi Nihonbashi 3-chome).
At around 13:00, the procession of the Shinko Festival passes through Yokoyamacho.
At 13:30, we arrived at Yakken Dori Fudoin. Since the former Kariya was located in Ryogoku (now Higashi-Nihonbashi 2-chome), the Shinto ritual, which is calledportable shrine, is held here. This is the only place where three units are available outside Kanda Myojin.
The center is Ichinomiya Horai (Daikoku-sama is riding). On the right side is Ninomiya portable shrine (Ebisu is on board). The left is Sannomiya Horai (Heishomon will be on board).
portable shrine in the four districts of Nihonbashi (Bakurocho, Yokoyamacho, Tachibanacho-Higashibashi 3-chome, Ryogoku-Higashibashi 2-chome, Yanokura-Higashibashi 1-chome), which was waiting for the line to arrive at Yakken Dori, will start imperial procession.
This is a portable shrine in Tachibana-cho, which is my blog name. It is the current Higashi Nihonbashi 3-chome, but when it comes to the festival, the old name has been revived and I am very happy.
This is a miniature version of portable shrine, which Iportable shrine was carrying when I was a child.
And sixty years ago, before the child portable shrine was able to carry it, he was pulling these floats and breaking the drums with Dondon kakkackers.
The attached festival can only be seen after Ningyo-cho, so I went to Arima Elementary School in Oyster-cho, where we are gathering waiting for the turn.
And it is "Soma Nomaoi Equestrian Warrior" that goes along Ningyocho-dori.
The festival is really good. The festival for me is the Kanda Festival since my house is shrine parishioner. I love it since I was a child. It is especially good to walk around the town with portable shrine. I just see it now, but the body still takes the rhythm of portable shrine.
The following year after Kanda festival, there is the Sanno Festival, and "I love you! Chuo-ku!"
