Ginza Hatcho Shrine Tour in AUTUMN GINZA 2015

[Silver] Nov. 10, 2015 18:00

 "Ginza Hatcho Shrine Tour 2015" was held again this year for three days from November 1 to 3.

With the guidance of AUTUMN GINZA 2015 in one hand, I'm glad that you can participate from anywhere in the nearest shrine you are participating in.

You will receive a stamp book at the first shrine you visited, and you will also have a stamp of the shrine. From the second onwards, you will be asked to seal the stamp.

This year, ten companies were opened: Ko Inari Shrine, Ginza Inari Shrine, Ryuko fudoson, Asahi Inari Shrine, Hodo Inari Shrine, Ginza Iseyo guardian of children and travelers, Kabuki Inari Shrine, Azuma Inari Shrine, Success Inari Shrine, Toyo Iwaine Inari Shrine.

 When I made a gift at Asahi Inari Shrine, I bowed two bows, two beats, and bowed, I received a sealed letter with "Asahi Inari Shrine Engi".

Among them, I received postcards of Ema, a torii gate, a shrine enshrined on the rooftop. Also, you will be familiar with the history of Ginza.

 Success Inari Shrine also received Shiseido's "savon d'or" again this year. Thank you for the soap for your gift.

 

At Hodo Inari Shrine, we prayed for the health of our grandchildren.

Omikuji was included in a wonderful clear file designed for the Wako Building, the streets of Ginza, and the shrine of Hodo Inari Shrine.

In that, Hodo Inari Engi and his trust were written. "I'm lucky,"

In addition, a map of Yazaemon-cho and its surroundings at the time of 1902 is written, and it is a study. (Described later)

  

Postscript: I would like to talk about the auspiciousness of Hodo Inari Shrine.

The alleyway of 4-chome Sanban, where a small shrine called Hodo Inari was enshrined, was called Inari Koji.

This Hodo Inari was originally a shrine enshrined in Edo Castle in order to protect the growth of the successor of the Shogun family during the Edo period when the Inari religion was very popular.

 Since this Inari was very exciting for disaster prevention, a person named Yazaemon, a guardian of the temple, was erected at the corner of the current Namiki-dori St. in response to the deity of divine spirit. It is said that "the beginning of Takado Inari" at 4-chome.

Hodo Inari became the main god of defense without separating Shisho, and Yazaemon also decided to stay here and served as a talisman for Inari for a lifetime, so this area came to be called Yazaemon-cho.

 As you can see in the name of Hodo, this Inari is a god who protects the healthy growth of children. In addition, there are many famous companies whose birthplace is Yazaemon-cho, so it is less likely to visit as a god of business prosperity.

As a company that prays for child treasures and thriving business, we still have a strong religion today.

On the morning of November 6 (Friday), when we reached the Ginza 2-chome intersection along Chuo-dori, the annual Snake Christmas illumination was being prepared on the wall of the building of the Bulgari Ginza Tower store.

The head is complete, and the tail is not yet.

bvlga111.JPGThe season has come when the illuminations with the motif of "Serpenti", which is famous as an icon of jewels in Bulgaria, lit up.

It seems that the lighting is scheduled for November 13 (Fri).

 

 

"Namishi Inari Shrine outside Tsukiji" (City Tour 10)

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] Nov. 9, 2015 16:00

We took a walk a little in front of the whole Chuo-ku Museum on November 1 and the bus guide in the afternoon.

 

1) At Fukutoku Shrine in COREDO Muromachi, rent a Chuo-ku community cycle (bicycle) and go around the shrine.
It may be perfect for running on flat ground with an electric bicycle, and return PORT is also available in Nihonbashi, Kyobashi, and
There are a few in Ginza and Tsukishima, and it looks like a settlement with PASMO, etc., and it looks like a new city.
→From Chuo-dori to Ginza via Nihonbashi and Kyobashi, the event "Ginza Hatcho Tour" will be held until November 3rd.
1-chome Ko Inari Shrine, Ginza Inari Shrine (Rooftop of the building), Ryuko fudoson (Rooftop of the building), Asahi Inari Shrine
I went around half. Next year, I'll take some time to go around everything.

 

2) It is "Tsukiji Namishi Inari Shrine" located in the back of Tsukiji Temple, also serving as lunch. Since the opening of Edo, reclaimed land
While many had to be made, here at Tsukiji Sea surface, no matter how much dike was built, it was the hardest place to be exposed to the waves.
One day, when I picked up glowing objects floating in the sea, it was the god of Inari Oga.
When shrine hall was built and visited, the wind stopped and the landfill was completed in 1659.
A pair of lion heads that appear at the Tsukiji Lion Festival in June every year are located on the precincts and are a masterpiece.

[Silver] Nov. 6, 2015 18:00

  "Shintomiza Children's Kabuki AUTUMN GINZA 2015" was held grandly and luxuriously on November 3 in the school grounds of Yasuaki Elementary School.

Sponsored by the Ginza Town Planning Conference, the whole Ginza Association, sponsorship is Shochiku Co., Ltd., Kabukiza Co., Ltd., and the Ginza Subcommittee Post Office (10 post offices such as Ginza Nishi Post Office and Ginza Miyuki Tori Post Office) It was sponsored.

At the beginning, a greeting was given by Keisuke Okamoto, the chairman of the entire Ginzakai Town Planning Committee, and a special guest, Tomoemon Otani, and a message of encouragement was given to the children performing Kabuki.

And a good mouth was mentioned, and the people around me were also impressed.

The performance of "Sannin Yoshimi Shiranami Okawabata Koshinzuka" will be performed.

 According to the commentary provided in today's program, the outline is:

On the night of Setsubun, Oose came to Okawabata to look for him with a hundred cars that his guests had forgotten last night.

However, her daughter in a kimono that appeared there was deprived of one hundred cars and fell into the river. The daughter was Yoshizo, a thief girl dressed as a woman.

The young lady also robbed the sword from Taroemon, who witnessed the scene, and was intoxicated by the goodness of her neck tonight. 

It was seen from the shadow of the thief, Yoshizo Bo. In 100 cars, they will be a game of skill.

It was also the thief Yoshizo Kazuo who stopped.

Eventually, they were impressed by the masculinity of Kazuo and wished to become brothers.

Kazuo responded to the feelings of the two, and the three thieves of the same name, Yoshizo, decided to give a hard blood cup.

  

All three of the performers were well-passed, cleared, and really cool.

  

The next one performed was the familiar "Shiranami Five Men's Inasegawa Sesame Place".

Each person gave his name, was able to find it with a voice that passed well, and was impressed.

Also, the catchers are cute children and I wanted to be caught.

After the performance, a special guest, Tomoemon Otani, sent praise and encouragement. The children will work harder to practice further and refine their arts.

It is a famous scene in the history of Kabuki. If you missed this time, don't miss it next year.
