The long-awaited Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Grand Festival

The festival is held every three years.
It was scheduled for 2011 last year, but was postponed due to the effects of the earthquake and it was this year (2012).

I can see the new headquarters portable shrine this year, and the people of the town will feel more than usual this year.

This is the poster for this year. I wanted you to see it at a glance.

Majestic and beautiful for the new octagonal portable shrine.

The poster for each festival is really wonderful.

I'm looking forward to the next time.

 

Departure for the head office Kachidoki Imperial Palace in portable shrine

I'm always impressed by the appearance.

Now the foundation of life is
I think many people have left Tsukuda, Tsukishima, Kachidoki, Harumi, and return to this festival. I'm one of them.

When I was a child, I started with floats and joined the adult community in portable shrine and Dai portable shrine.
I really liked the atmosphere a few days before the festival.
Above all, the best drum for the three days of the festival. In the tranquility of the morning, the drums approach the most from the distance, wake up with the sound of a down, and it is only the morning of the three days that you can feel tight even while you sleep.
I miss you.

I've been getting older, but I've been carrying it again this year.

First of all, portable shrine. Thanks to the shout of "Soiya" to taste the feeling that the steps are united.

The water is vigorous and can be breathed as expected, but I do not usually use it, but the word "super pleasant!" is perfect.

On the way, drinks, watermelons, cucumbers, dumplings, fried chicken, etc. are all exceptional after they are served deliciously. Thank you for your dinner. Thank you very much.

 

August 6 Tour of portable shrine Town Headquarters

A lot of people who want to play a new octagon

I feel like it.

I was crazy about it

It was a very good time.

I was glad to carry a little nose stick.

There is a balcony in the pool on the 3rd floor of the facility, and you can enjoy the same scenery and night view from there.

By the way, I watch the night view in this balcony, especially from sunbathing in summer and hot water jacuzzi in the room in winter (because the air is clear).

In this restaurant, you can eat and drink in the balcony, and you can enjoy the scenery and night view of the ↑ while eating and drinking. (Aside from: There is also a TV in the store, so you can spend your time comfortably by yourself.)

 

 

This facility uses the residual heat of the adjacent Central Incineration Plant to supplement the energy of electricity, air conditioning, hot water supply, etc. in the hall (see figure in ↓ for details).

This "Hot Plaza Harumi" is also introduced on the Chuo-ku Tourism Association website.↓

(Personal request/proposal to the facility)
This facility is very good with fees, facility equipment, staff handling, etc., and there are many regular users. Therefore, it may be good to make something like a card that stamps each time you use it, for example, give gifts (related to facilities and wards) to regular people or give facility use tickets every 50 times. Maybe.

 

 

 

On August 22, a major Japanese shipping company Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, an ocean-going cruise liner Nippon Maru, can be toured free of charge. The photo shows a photo taken by Yurikamome-san while anchored at Harumi Wharf.

　Nippon Maru has a total tonnage of 21,903 tons, a hull length of about 160 m, and a passenger capacity of 600.　There is only a cruise liner called a "moving hotel", and not only the facilities on board but also the reception of the staff who respond is close to Concierge, a leading hotel.　In the story you explained,

１） The cruise fee includes meals, but now a quiz on how many meals are offered a day?　If you calculate a light meal before breakfast, breakfast, tea and sweets service, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, and then dinner, you can enjoy the meal nine times.

２） If you eat too much, there is an athletic facility on board.　Don't worry.

３） There is also a pool, and it seems that hotels in the city center are moving.

４） A quiz about what is piled up in a lifeboat for emergency removal.　In addition to food and water, what! It is said that fishing gear is also installed as equipment.　

５） There is a casino on board, where you can enjoy blackjack and roulette.　However, cash cannot be redeemed for cash.　You will get a prize.　It's a bit like Las Vegas.

Well, I'd like to take a leisurely vacation and enjoy a cruise. For more information about "Nippon Maru", please visit http://www.nipponmaru.jp/.

August 11 was a fun day with the Reitaisai festival in Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine and the Fire Festival in Tokyo Bay.

I wanted to see it nearby without going to Harumi, so I saw it from the Sumida River Terrace, but the high rise of Kachidoki.

I was blocked by the apartment, and only half could be seen. I'm going to go to Harumi next year.

I did it.

 

 

Every time I passed about the uninhabited temple near Asashiobashi at Tsukishima 4-chome, I was worried and visited many times to search for the name of the temple, auspiciousness, the intention of building, etc., but I can't find it from outside the temple.
The only clue is that there are 29 stone pillars, which are thought to be donors, on both sides of the space like the approach to the approach, for the founder and owner, and a lantern.
According to the owner's stone pillar, the construction was on May 1961. However, I am concerned about the degree of devastation, either because of its inability to live.
The founder and owner will be described later, but when I read this stone pillar, I was amazed at the background of the people involved in the construction. There are only members of the Diet such as ministers and governors who have been active in Tokyo (city) and the Diet from before and after the war.
That's why in erecting, I looked for something that could be even more clues to whether there was a deep word, but I couldn't quite understand the details.

The founder was Makoto Nagano, a professor at Tokyo Imperial University, a vice-chairman and Buddhist scholar of the 2nd World Buddhist Conference held in Tsukiji Honganji in 1952. I guessed that he was invited as the founder of a temple in Chuo-ku at that edge. (It's a good interpretation....)
　In addition, the owner is a city council (city council) elected from the Kyobashi district before the war.

　This temple is described as "Shakado hall" on the current map, but the elders in the district asked about the temple during the 1988 round-table discussion "Talking Tsukishima" hosted by Chuo-ku. When I was asked, he said "Taishido". Isn't the main statue enshrined in Shakado hall and Taishido completely different? Also, if you look through the glass door inside main hall, you'll be charged Kannon Bodhisattva. I'm wondering. So, when I looked next to the hall to see if there were any further hints, the founder, Dr. Nagano, wrote "Namsanpo".

On the right side of this forehead, the inscription "Edo Fire Memorial Party" is written, and on the left side the forehead notice (lucky day December 1961)) is written.

What is the connection with Dr. Nagano, the founder of the House of Representatives, and the Edo Fire Memorial Association? There is only an increase in doubt.

In the aforementioned round-table discussion about what purpose it was erected for the purpose, the old man of Tsukishima said, "To the owner mourns various people's bodhis."
Therefore, when I contacted the Edo Fire Memorial Association about this temple, a historical site researcher of the association immediately investigated it, and it became clear that the relationship between the owner of main hall and the fire memorial society was not close. . In particular, anecdotes from the owner of main hall remain in the memoir of Miemon Furukawa, the head of Nigumi.

In any case, the temple, which was related to so many people, was a survey that made me feel painfully the lack of decaying without a guard.

In this survey, the Kyobashi Library Regional Archives, Tsukishima Library, and the Edo Fire Memorial Society Historic Site Investigators were instrumental. Once again, I would like to thank you very much.

 

 

 On the last day of the festival on August 6, Miya portable shrine (octagonal portable shrine), who stayed overnight at the Imperial Palace, was handed over to Harumi, Kachidoki, Tsukishima, and Shin-Tsukuda, and returned to Tsukuda 1-chome, the original Tsukuda island.

Finally, the time of "welcome" of the shrine mikoshi.

At dusk, from Tsukuda Kobashi to Shin-Tsukuda, "Tsukuda" and "Sumiyoshi-ko" are raised, and "Wakaishi" forms a platoon.

When the clap of Shin-Tsukuda rings and the hand tightens, it is finally the last cruise.

The only bearers of "entering the shrine" are "caretakers" and "large young people".

Leaded by the master of the Tobi who sings woodworking, proceed slowly.

When you enter the precincts, you'll finally get a big deal. The sound of the Tsukuda Hayashi became particularly loud, and after the "Sasu" work was performed to push the mikoshi to heaven at once, it is quietly enshrined in front of the temple.

After a while, an announcement was made that "the solemn Shinto rituals will be held, and all the lights in shrine hall and the precincts were turned off, and the Spirit was transferred from portable shrine to Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine was made.

This was followed by hand tightening, and the curtain of a hot festival was set.

The music resonated as if regretting the remnants, and the lingering lingering of the heat remained in the darkness.
