Summer festivals were held in many areas of Chuo-ku, and pageants of tradition and exchange were spread. I think that one of the attractions of this area is that such events are firmly rooted.
At the Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Annual Festival, which was held mainly in the Tsukuda and Tsukishima districts in early August, many people gathered to enliven the big event once every three years. It was the last festival of the Heisei era, and it was a festival that was more energetic than usual.
It is portable shrine that keeps the centripetal force during the festival. Not only the shrines' large portable shrines, but also their own portable shrine in each town will be very active at this time. The pedestal may have a list of donors at the time of pre-war production. The thoughtful portable shrine is a symbol of the region.
Well, after the festival is over, many regions call portable shrine to the maintenance. After all, it was shaken during the festival, so checking for increments and shaking, and performing detailed repairs is also a preparation for the next festival. A specialist in portable shrine in Tokyo and Chiba will carefully repair it. Because of the detailed work, a gorgeous figure at the festival is established.
Don't you think it's a taste to imagine that the mikoshi that has finished the summer festival is carefully cared for this time?
If you take this opportunity to take an interest in the structure and fine-grained works of portable shrine, I think the festival will broaden your interest.
