On the 29th, the Doburoku Festival was held at Koami Shrine on the banks of the former Higashiboriru River.
The so-called festival was named after serving worshipers on November 28 (a muddy sake made from fresh rice harvested in the Shinryo field) served in Niiname-no-Matsuri.
This is the explanation board of Koami Shrine.
This is the adjacent Kagura Hall.
It's a lot of work.
Good luck protection against misfortune's mizuku is visible.
I was able to hear the folk cultural property of Kagura.
The present shrine hall and Kagura Hall were built in 1929 and survived the war and is now the only wooden cypress shrine built in the Nihonbashi area, and is designated as a cultural property of Chuo-ku.

A gorgeous cruise of more than a dozen doll floats, including the floats of the Shizuka Gozen, which had attended the Sanno Festival during the Edo period.Tochigi-shiIt was held at the center of "Kura no Machi Odori". It's Tochigi Autumn Festival.
 The festival is said to be held every other year, but this year (2010) is the year of the event, and it was held for two days on Saturday, November 13 and 14 (Sun).
As a supporter of the guide, I will also participate in the event of "Good Tochigi float festival watching".
On the first day (November 13), I saw a tour of doll floats [Reference 1] such as "Shizuka Gozen" owned by the town of Nihonbashi.
Take the limited express at 10:30 at Tobu Asakusa Station and arrive at Tochigi Station in about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
The festival started at 14:30, so we had a walk around the city until then.
[Introduction of the city]
 In the city, there are old warehouses (Tozo) everywhere, and you can see many dashigeta-style houses. It seems to have returned in the days of the Meiji and Taisho eras.
Many of these are designated as cultural properties of Tangible Cultural Property and prefecture registered by the Agency for Cultural Affairs.
 At the center of the city is the Uzuma River, a clear stream with a calm flow.
The guests who came to the festival were placed on a river boat, and the boatman was manipulating the pole while showing stories about the land folk song and warehouses.
Algae fluttering on the riverbed, and many carps are swimming. When you look at it, you can feel the flow of relaxing time.
Tochigi-shiPlease refer to [Reference 2] for the history of the city.
[Tochigi Autumn Festival]
At the opening ceremony (departure ceremony)Tochigi-shiThere was a greeting from Mayor Toshimi Suzuki.
"This autumn festival was a new life that merged three neighboring towns in March to nearly double the population of 140,000.Tochigi-shiIt was very significant at the first Tochigi Autumn Festival.
It is also called Koedo.Kawagoe-shiOldSawara-shiYeahChuo-ku、Sumida-kuI have a wide range of relationships.
There were greetings like this.
Mr. Katori City as a guestKasukabe-shiAnd so on.
Deputy mayor from Chuo-kuChuo-kuHiroshi Suzuki, Director of Culture and Lifelong Learning Division, was introduced.
As a large number of spectators sing along the sidewalks on both sides, a gorgeous doll float cruise began.
On the floats of the "Shizuka Gozen" I wanted, there was a tag of "Moto Edo Sanno Festival 9th float" [Reference 3] next to the drum seats.
Looking at the appearance of a large number of floats cruising, I feel like I saw the Sanno Festival in the Edo period.
There is a picture of "Kojimachi 1-chome Sanno Festival Nerigome" in Hiroshige Utagawa's "Hundred Famous Views of Edo", with floats.
It depicts how Hanzomon to Edo Castle through the Sakurada moat.
Looking at this Tochigi Autumn Festival, I couldn't help but wonder how gorgeous and magnificent the procession of 45 7m-high doll floats used at the Tenka Festival at that time was.
And I was happy and deeply moved to see the floats of "Shizuka Gozen" owned by Nihonbashi.
"Koedo" with interaction with Chuo-kuTochigi-shiWhy don't you visit us once?
[Reference 1] Floats in Tochigi
The floats of "Shizuka Gozen" (Note), which went to the "Tochigi Autumn Festival" during the Edo period Tenka Festival "Sanno Festival", were owned by the town of Nihonbashi, and were purchased by Yamato-cho 3-chome in Tochigi in the early Meiji era.
(Note) Shizuka Gozen: Minamoto no Yoshitsune's darling is the white beat of Kyoto (a prostitute who performs singing and dancing from the Heian period to the Kamakura period). Captured by Yoritomo, on the stage of Kamakura's Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, he dropped a sword to Tachi Eboshi, and said, "Shizuyashizu, Shizu, repeated, and once again, I'm going to do it now. "
Shizuka Gozen dolls are said to have been created by Shounsai Tokuyama in the first year of Kaei (1848), and are the oldest floats in Tochigi.
In addition, there are floats of "Liu Pei", "Kanba", and "Zhanghi" (Chohi) of Mikunishi, which are for the celebration of the prefecture in 1893 (Meiji 26) It seems to have been produced by requesting the puppeteer "Third Generation Gesshu Hara" in Nihonbashi Motoishi-cho.
And "Amaterasu Omikami" (Amaterasu Omikami), "Yamato Takeru" (the only thing to beat Yamato)
There are also floats of Susano Naruson, Emperor Jimmu, Taiko Hideyoshi, and Momotaro. It is a tangible folk cultural property designated by the prefecture, along with Shizuka Gozen and Mikuni Shi.
The photo on the left shows the floats of Amaterasu Omikami.
In addition, there are floats such as "Isakodori", "Benkei", and "Emperor Nintoku", which are registered in the city designated Tangible Cultural Property.
These floats are not owned by prefectures and cities, but are owned and maintained by each town council.
Tochigi floats are called "Edo-shaped doll floats", and the curtains covering the floats are gold and silver threads, and each float has a gorgeous and gorgeous embroidery unique to each float. And a float with a height of about 7m has a double structure that can be raised and lowered to pass through the gate of Edo Castle.
You can always see real floats and images of the Tochigi Autumn Festival at the Tochigi Float Hall on the main street.
[Reference 2] History of Tochigi City-Reiheishi Kaido and Uzuma River shipping
Tochigi City is in Saitama PrefectureKawagoe-shiAnd former Chiba PrefectureSawara-shi(currently Katori City) is called "Koedo".
Shimonokuni during the Edo period was divided into Tochigi Prefecture and Utsunomiya Prefecture in the abolished feudal prefecture of Meiji 4 (1871), but in 1873, two prefectures merged to Tochigi Prefecture, This isTochigi-shiIt is said that the prefectural office was set up and flourished as a political, economic and cultural center.
Then, in 1884, the prefectural office was established.Utsunomiya-shiThe name of the prefecture remained as Tochigi Prefecture.
The name of the prefectural office is left in "Prefectural Office Hori".
In the Edo period, Nikko Toshogu Shrine, which enshrines Ieyasu, and in the Edo period, the Imperial Court visited the Imperial Court every year, and Tochigi developed as a post town on the Reiheishi Kaido (Tochigi-juku: 13th).
It is said that Tochigi merchants flourished during the late Tokugawa shogunate period by transporting goods between Edo using the Uzuma River.
Tochigi's "Kura" still has many storehouses, but there are also Ishikura and Itakura. In addition to the warehouse, there is a store called "Misezo" (Misegura, store storehouse). It seems that there is Japan's oldest misezo in Tochigi.
Tochigi interacted with the ukiyo-e artist Utamaro Kitagawa during the Edo period, and recently discovered three pieces of "Shoki", "Sanpuku God's Sumo", and "Onna Daruma". I have a hand-painted drawing.
[Reference 3] The line of floats for the Sanno Festival in the Edo period
The Sanno Festival was called the Tenka Festival because the Shogun was allowed to see the Shogun together with Kanda festival and was able to enter Edo Castle, and the two festivals were held alternately every other year.
At that time, the procession of the Sanno Festival was led by Osakaki, followed by floats (45 units) and portable shrine (3 units) in each town. It seems that a dance stand (mobile stage) with songs such as Nagauta and Jobanzubushi also participated.
The floats of the Sanno Festival range from the No. 1 Isakodori to the No. 45 Scarlet (1862), but the majority of the floats are present.Chuo-kuIt was created by the towns of Nihonbashi, Ginza, and Shinkawa districts.
The Sanno Festival is also gradually decreasing since it was subject to the thrug of the reform of the Tenpo, but the festival of Bunkyu 2 (1862) is said to be the last Tenka Festival of Shogun's Shoran.
And at the end of Meiji 22 (1889), floats were no longer brought out to the Sanno Festival.
It is said that this is due to the lack of cruising tall floats due to the laying of the overhead line of the city train, and the cost of maintenance and cruising.
And the doll floats seem to have gradually spread throughout the Kanto region.

It is the season when the tree wilt blows, and the news of autumn leaves arrives here and there. If you think about this year, you will only leave another month and a half.
One night, I went in front of [Shimbashi Enbujo] in Ginza 6-chome, Chuo-ku. In the past, the "turret" that was allowed only to be officially certified playhouses was lit up. During the renovation and closure of [Kabukiza], this is to protect the base of Kabuki.
November is a "face-to-face performance" as usual. In the first place, "face-to-face" was a project to show off actors performing in a one-year performance, but now it has become a feature of late autumn.
After Tokyo, a "face-to-face performance" will also be held in Minamiza, Kyoto. It is a gorgeous play where famous actors from east and west come together, and Kabuki fans are looking forward to it.
A Christmas tree, which had already been set up in the nearby Jiji Press Building, was emitting a pale glow.
It was a night walk while feeling the sense of the season.

Ginza's autumn tradition, "Silver Tea Party" is the ninth time this year.
With the guidance I saw at AUTUMN GINZA, I participated in my heart.
In the information, there is "Autumn Day in Ginza where the four tea ceremony schools meet together".
This is a light tea ceremony. Good sweets and tea with moderate astringency were served.
This is Shimbashi's sister. I'm enchanted by the graceful gesture
After all, I lined up with black hair and tea that women in kimono make.
It was made of silver that enjoyed the goodness of Japanese culture. Thank you very much.
