It's wind on all sides.
It will be my first post in a long time. Half a month has passed at the earliest. As a personal matter, this month is the birth month, so I will get one year old early in the new year.
By the way, my town walk in Chuo-ku began on January 5 with the first visit to Tsukiji, which was the last year of this year, and a visit to Suitengu, which was full of first dogs on the day.
The article at the beginning of the year was not the 5th, but the cold bathing tournament (Kannaka Misogi), the ultimate event of the New Year in Chuo-ku, held on January 10 at Tepposhu, not on the 5th.
I will write it. This year, the 61st time since 1955, it was held at the adjacent gunpow park instead of the shrine grounds for shrine renovation work.
This year is said to be a warm winter, but the day was also blessed with fine weather, and it seems that it was quicker to melt the large icicicles in advance in the aquarium.
During the cold bathing is an event to pray for sound health by bathing in cold water in front of the shrine. Not only those who are actually bathing, but also those who are watching.
I wished you.
Following the greetings of the Chairman of the shrine parishioner Association, Miyaji Tepposhu Shrine, and Mayor of Chuo-ku, the progress of the day was prepared as a preparatory exercise under the guidance of Itabashi Hikawa Shrine.
It started with running around the shrine. Along with a waka that sings along with the gesture of crumbling the boat, "When pulling" Aetsu "
It echoed strongly in the blue sky of the New Year. After this, we completed some events that dispel the evils below the soul, and performed a deep breath operation called Kibuki.
Finally, the cold misogi started with the shout of "A!" Hold your hands up and down as if wrapping your egg in front of your chest, and look forward without closing your eyes.
It was chanted as "Araito Okami, Araito Okami". Many participants were divided into two groups, but the participation of young women and foreigners was impressive.
It's left. At the end of the bath, the first movement was repeated, and the event ended.
It was a day when I was able to witness traditional events and get energy.
