[TAKK...] August 31, 2014 09:00

 A while ago, the portable shrine Union imperial procession, where the Gohori of the Fukagawa Hachiman Festival imperial procession in shrine parishioner was held on Saturday, August 16, and 53 portable shrine units from each town were imperial procession together on Sunday, August 17.

 At the festival of Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine (Koto-ku), Shinkawa and Hakozaki in Chuo-ku were also part of the portable shrine Union imperial procession route.

 Usually, the roads where office workers and cars come and go are full of portable shrine, bearers and security guards.

 You will cross Eitai Bridge from Shinkawa and return to Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine, but in front of Eitai Bridge is a watering spot.

 "Watering" is the habit of pouring clean water from the roadside to the portable shrine bearers.

 However, here, the fire brigade uses a fire engine to "water discharge", so it is a tremendous power and must-see.

 It's extremely hot, so I'm grateful for watering.

 The appearance of portable shrine dancing in the office district looks very strange.

 Even if the shape of the city changed, I thought that the tradition was well preserved.

 It means that there are many people who support the festival, and I felt very grateful.
