 This year, on August 6, 7 and 8, Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Reisai Festival was held.

Last year we interviewed Kagura's dedication, but this year we covered the octagonal portable shrine's palace and the palace.

Today's octagonal portable shrine has been repaired repeatedly over the 170 years of history.

This year's festival was the last, with portable shrine going around Nishinaka-dori and the streets of Tsukuda.

We are currently making a new portable shrine, and next year's main festival will be imperial procession by a new Miya portable shrine that faithfully reproduces the shape of the octagonal portable shrine built during the Tenpo era.

 

The photo below shows the young people prepared to carry portable shrine.

I'm wearing matching clothes (yukata).

Young people: navy blue young people on white background ... light light blue and dark blue caretaker ... green on white background　

The color of the uniform is different depending on age and experience.

I felt the neighborhood and family relationship of the good old days in the conversation of the caretaker before portable shrine and Miyade.

Young people ... those who want to carry portable shrine, those who are young and energetic. The first begins with a young man.

Great young people ... Those who have experienced young people.

Caretakers ... older people who have experienced young people and large young people who have been supporting this Reisai Festival for a long time.

　　 　　　　　　　　　　  　

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I carried portable shrine in the precincts. 

 I felt that this movement was beautiful, with young people united and raised portable shrine up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before portable shrine dive the torii gate, big young people and caretakers are watching later.

You can see a tall building on the other side in the old streets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The upper and lower two photos are the same, but the angle is slightly different and both are favorite photos.

The green was back because portable shrine turned to the left of the torii gate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm out of town. There is water on the way to portable shrine.

The first few people were leading the way in the woodwork.

　　　　　　Woodworking: Sings when pulling floats for festivals and celebrations.

The one who put a lump of ice in a plastic bag put ice in each of the young people's mouths.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm the octagon portable shrine who came back around the streets.

We are waiting for the spirit festival from 8:00 pm (the spirit will be transferred to the shrine main shrine).

The young people who played a major role in the portable shrine were relaxing outside with drinks and meals.

The Reisai Festival takes place on August 6-7 every year.

Next year's main festival will be held for four days, including Saturdays and Sundays.

At the main festival, six banners are set up, and the large banner and daki are preserved in the water shown below.

There is also a building over there on the surface of the water.

A local person said, "In the past, I could see a large banner of Tsukuda Island from Edo Castle ..."

・・I told you ...

    Current <Nishinakadori Regional Safety Center>　　　　　  Former <Nishinakadori Police Box>

      

The police box was built first, but it protruded from the sidewalk due to the expansion of the road, so Tsukishima's former "Nishinakadori police box" was known by local residents as "Hadashi police box".

One of the sergeant branch offices established by Kyobashi Tsukishima Police Station, the predecessor of Tsukishima Police Station around 1921. In 1926, it was rebuilt from wooden to reinforced concrete, and was active as the oldest active police box in the Metropolitan Police Department, but abolished in 2007. Currently, it has been reborn as a regional safety center.

The “Local Safety Center” means that local safety supporters are assigned during the daytime, mainly engaged in geographic guidance and community safety activities. By the way, the "Local Safety Center" is written on a blue light (the police box is a red light) and the name is written on a blue sign.

In 1874, the Metropolitan Police Department established a "police box" for the first time, but it is said that the name came from the police station to a specific place at that time and took turns. In 1881, a police box building was built and changed to the current form of working there.

In 1888, it was unified nationwide under the name of "punch box" and "posite", but the name of "police box" at the time of its establishment remained under the name "police box". In 1994, the official name was changed from "punch box" to "police box" because the name "police box" has become established among citizens today and can be used as it is in international language.

Police boxes are located in various parts of the city, and police officers work alternately.

 

    <River City Representative Office>

  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Instead, this is Tsukuda's "River City Office" opened in 2002 as the first couple's office in Tokyo.

As a general rule, a police officer resides in the community with his family and engages in activities to protect local security.

A rapidly increasing population area where old streets and high-rise apartments live together. The reason of birth in response to the demands of the times. Currently, the third-generation police officer couple is stationed.  

 

     <Harumi Wharf Security Police Station>

    

Established in 1991 as the "Harumi Wharf Dispatch Office", and started operation in 2007 as the "Harumi Wharf Security Dispatch Office".

"Security police stations" are police facilities installed at airports, embassies, various official residences, and gates of key personal residences.

The design integrated with the Harumi Passenger Ship Terminal is eye-catching.

 

 

A part of the current Tsukuda 1-2 chome is a natural tidal flat formed at the mouth of the Sumida River, originally called Ishikawajima and Tsukuda Island.

The origin of the name is that Mr. Ishikawa, who served as the `` boatman '' during the Edo period, worshiped Sunoshima and set up a residence, and a fisherman from Tsukuda Village, Settsu Country worshiped the tidal flat south of Ishikawajima and created an island. It is reported that he emigrated.

Ishikawajima in the early Meiji era merged with Tsukuda Island. Completed Shin-Tsukuda Island in 1896. Due to the enforcement of the post-war Housing Indication Law, the former Tsukudajima was Tsukuda 1-chome, the original Ishikawajima was Tsukuda 2-chome, the surrounding Shin-Tsukudajima Nishimachi 1,2-chome Tsukuda 2-chome, and the Shin-Tsukudajima Azumacho 1,2-chome was Tsukuda 3-chome. Has been changed.

Most of the Tsukuda area has survived the Great Kanto Earthquake and the Great Tokyo Air Raid, retains the remnants of the site layout dating back to the Edo period, fosters unique culture and customs, and maintains an emotional cityscape.

Small houses and narrow alleys. In particular, the alleys where flowerpots and benches are lined up and worshiped to Jizo are "common spaces" closely related to living.

Water is also sprayed during the hot summer months along with the planting trees.

Cleaning of alleys and roads, greening and moisturizing based on ingenuity in narrow spaces.

I hear that nature and crime prevention and helping each other are also born.

Tsukuda Island has been functioning as a fishing village until the 1950s, and water demand is strong. In addition, "Omote Kitchen" has remained for a long time in connection with the site layout inherited from the early modern era, and wells have maintained their importance as a source of domestic and miscellaneous water even after the water supply was laid. Old stone irrigation tubs now used as flower pots, former indoor wells for family business, and still existing hand-pump-type (joint) outdoor wells ...

You can experience how time flows slowly.
