On the way of a walk last weekend, I saw a poster (pictured) of "Peach Festival Hina Matsuri" at Sanko Inari Shrine in Nihonbashi Horidome-cho, so I would like to introduce this Inari.
Sanko Inari Shrine was Osaka's Kabuki actor Sanjuro Seki, who appeared in Nakamura-za, even though the Kinubu wholesaler Tawaraya Village Koshi Shozaemon and cotton wholesaler Tateishi Sanzo, who lived near the area (formerly Hase Kawamachi), was recommended in the early Edo period. It is said that it was Fushimi since 1689 (Genroku Kan 2). The shrine hall was burned down in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and rebuilt in 1924 (Daisho 13). In the same year, Hase Kawamachi and Tadokoromachi merged into Horidome 2-chome, at which time Tadokoro Inari Daimyojin was enshrined. Later, at the time of land readjustment in 1933 (Showa 8), he was transferred to his current location, and the street came to be called Sanko Shindo.
Basically, it is an unmanned company, and vermilion seal stamp and others can be awarded at Ningyocho-dori at the fourth cosmetics store Okina (Mr. Obata). According to Mr. Obata, various events have been held every season, including the peach festival (Hina Matsuri), for a long time, but the display of doll decorations seems to have started about ten years ago. The five-tiered doll decorations (pictured) on the worship hall are impressive with a presence that creates a gorgeous and dignified atmosphere. In addition, Sanko Inari Shrine has long been visited by daughters, children, geisha, etc., and it is said that if you make a request when you lose sight of cats as a cat tribe guardian angel. The beckoning cat (pictured) on the precincts is said to have been dedicated by the owners who have returned the cat.
The location is on the north side of the subway Ningyo Station, located in the back of a narrow side street on the east side of Ningyocho-dori (in the direction of Kodemmacho), and at the entrance there is a stone sign (pictured) of Sanko Inari Shrine approach. It is a small Inari Shrine that is a bit difficult to understand, but if you are interested in the Hina Matsuri held on March 3 (Thursday) and cats, why not visit once?
