Sugimori Shrine Tour of Nihonbashi Shichifukujin Tomizuka
Sugimori Shrine is one of Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods and enshrines Ebisu God.
The booklet of "Seven Lucky Gods Tour" at hand says:
It is said that the religion of the Seven Lucky Gods began in the Muromachi period, and has been passed down to the Japanese for 500 years and has become popular every year. Unlike other places, Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods is all made up of shrines and has the advantage that it can be the shortest pilgrimage in Japan. Nihonbashi-dori and Ningyocho-dori are downtown areas with the tradition of Edo Shitamachi. We would like to invite you to visit while touching the downtown atmosphere. We do not have a starting point, so please feel free to visit us.
The history of Sugimori Shrine and the statue of Ebisu God
For Sugimori Shrine, there is the following information.
It was founded 1,000 years ago, and died a strong enemy in 940 (940 AD) praying for the victory of Tahara Fujita Hidego. He dedicates himself to God's help and dedicates a white silver fox statue. At the time of Bunsho, there was a drought in the Kanto area, and Michio Ota, if you visit our company and pray, there is a spiritual test. With respect, he worships the Gosha Ogami of Inariyama Gosha, Yamashiro country. In particular, the Shinto priest Koretaru Kikkawa has a strong religion, relying on the entrustment of Omitaka Oga, one of the five shrines Inari, to revive Ebisu Oga. (October 19 and 20) Day). There is Tomizuka, which commemorates the entertainment of the Edo period, and many worshipers pray for lotteries.
I just opened Ebisu-sama, so I took a picture.
If you look at Ebisu with a plump smile, the worshipers will also feel happy.
Prayer for winning the lottery at Tomizuka
I've been buying lottery tickets for a long time. The explanation is described as follows.
Sugimori Shrine is a land that prospered as a commercial place, and during the Edo period many wealth performances were held. Please put in lotteries, visit Tomizuka and pray for good luck.
We placed a "year-end jumbo lottery in a lottery" in the three treasure placed in front of Tomizuka and prayed for the winning.
Prayer for winning
I prayed for the election and visited the main shrine again.
I hope that the New Year will be a good year for you.
