On the New Year's Day with the blue sky, we visited the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, where the demonstration of Suwa-ryu Hotaka was performed.
When I went out a little early to see the 14:00 section on January 3, I was performing a performance of "Aikido Performance" at Uchibori Square. There was also the skill of the latter-stage elderly, and the tight martial arts that trained the skills without competing for victory or defeat and worked to improve each other's humanity was worth seeing.
Waiting for the hawks to turn with Sanpuku Dango, freshly baked with charcoal fire bought at the store, two men and five women dressed in Takajo costumes from the early Showa era. People appear.
I began to turn around like a ring to get used to the hawk on my hand. After that, "transfer", which jumps from falconers to falconers, "migrating" to recall falcons on trees, and "replacement" with audience participation. Finally, a "swing pigeon", which captures white pigeons in the air, was shown. Don't worry. There is an explanation that white pigeons fly with safety considerations.)
All of them were wonderful to be able to enjoy the dynamic way of flying with the falcon flying speed and height difference.
The hawks active today are Harris folks born in Europe.
They would have enjoyed the New Year's Day in the Hamarikyu Garden, which is full of Japanese atmosphere.
A lot of dragonflies were flying over the sky, as if to support the hawks.
It was a really calm and refreshing New Year event, and the beginning of 2016 was full of happiness

This year, we will send you the information you care about Chuo-ku little by little, so thank you.
Suwa style hawk art: One of the two groups of falconers held by the Shogun family of the Edo period, derived from the Shinto ritual of Shinshu Suwa-jinja Shrine.
