Burying the pillars of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Daibori

[Yo-chan] September 3, 2018 14:00

For four days from August 3 to 6, the Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Festival was held once every three years, and six large banners greatly excited the Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Festival. . After the festival, on August 26, 19 days later, the pillars were once again buried in Tsukuda moat, waiting quietly for the turn three years later.

I went to cover such a burial work, so I will tell you about the situation.

The work began around 9 o'clock with a crane truck arriving on the 26th (Sun) at around 8 o'clock.

About 40 people soaked in the water, got wet, and worked together to work. First, a large banner emerged on the Tsukuda River, and the drainage of the moat to store it began.

At the end of the draining, a crane truck waiting on Tsukuda Kobashi lifted a pillar floating on the Tsukuda River and lined it in the moat.

The pillars were stored neatly in the moat, and soil was covered on it, and the burial work was completed around 13:00. During that time, there was no break for about four hours, and everyone was working hard under the control of the leader.

Everyone in Tsukuda-cho really had a hard time. I'm looking forward to seeing you again in three years.
