The gunshot shrine Reitaisai festival in 2022 is Golden Week as usual.

It is said to be the first summer festival in Tokyo.

This year, on April 30 and May 1, before the festival period, the head office portable shrine was displayed beside the sidewalk of the former Miharabashi.

The first exhibition outside the shrine was located in Ginza facing Harumi-dori St.

May 3 was the festival of the plague eradication.

Along with Goho, the head office portable shrine on the trolley traveled around each shrine parishioner town council.

I couldn't carry it yet, but I could see portable shrine outside the shrine.

portable shrine, the head office of Tepposhu Shrine, was built in the Taisho era.

Beside the portable shrine

　4 shaku, 5 minutes, 4 shaku, 5 minutes

　　It's posted.

The extended roof is shaped like the roof of the temple of Tepposhu Shrine.

It seems that the flat stall is a form in which the torso is composed directly from the pedestal.

The pedestal is the bottom part, about 124.5 cm for four feet, one inch and five minutes.

I think it's one of the largest portable shrine in Tokyo.

The portable shrine headquarters is made by Sangoro Akiyama, the first owner of Sangoro Akiyama Shoten in Hatchobori.

The portable shrine of Kandatacho made by him is an important cultural property preserved in the National Museum.

At present, the fourth generation is succeeding.

During the Taisho era, Kiichiro Mikami, a lumber dealer who entered the ship, donated portable shrine's sticks.

The above is a photo of a lumber dealer before the Great Kanto Earthquake.

Since then, mikoshi has been put out until around 1950, after the war.

I don't think the festival of Tepposu Shrine was a Golden Week until the Showa 30s.

After that, your head office portable shrine was not in charge for a while.

In 2000, as Tepposhu Shrine celebrates its 1160th anniversary, the Yayoi-kai was formed in Reitaisai festival to carry out the headquarters portable shrine.

In 1999, a carrying stick was donated by a forestry owner in Wakayama Prefecture and the previous Mikami Timber Store.

Therefore, first of all, the bearing stick was unveiled, and a lumber service ceremony was held.

At 9:30 am on Sunday, May 9th, a ritual was held in front of St. Luke Garden in Akashicho, and a parade departed on Tepposu Street for the shrine.

Following the placard　

　The iron cane (Tetsujo) and the woodworkingren (Kiyaren) will lead.

　　The woodworking is the 6th group of the 1st ward of the Edo Fire Memorial Association.　

It is followed by a flag for 　the large bill (Onusa) salt water (Ento).

　　And the Yayoi-kai member shrine parishioner-cho Keijin Women's Association walks.

Next, the lumber will be placed on the trolley.

It will be a flower stick, a horizontal stick, and an attached stick.

Right next to it is the president of the contractor who finishes the carrying stick at the end.

In the red open car, Mr. Miyaji, President and Chairman of the Women's Association　

　The white open car is a contributor of a carrying stick.

Go slowly and slowly.

It took more than an hour to show off to the locals and return to the shrine.

After the ritual was held, the lumber was delivered to the construction company.

portable shrine will also be transported to Metal Crafts Company for repair.

Once dismantled, all gongs were washed, and coated to withstand rain.

The following year, we will imperial procession each shrine parishioner town (Ginza → Shintomi → Irifune → Akashicho → Minato).

It was the first time in 50 years.

Such a ceremony may never be held again.

I felt the tradition of Chuo-ku and the happiness of being there.
