May 5
On May 5th, Children's Day
At homes with children and grandchildren, many people decorated carp streamers and ate Kashiwa mochi.
But in Chuo-ku, May 5th is the Ginza Yanagi Festival.
Just before the departure of the "Traffic Safety Parade".
Peko and Kitty also standby on a rickshaw.
By the way, the twelfth is Mother's Day. Athletic meet of super high school K school which is famous for sticking is also the second Sunday of May every year.
And there is another big event in Chuo-ku.
That's right. It's a festival of Kanda Myojin. This year is the first main festival of Reiwa. Well, it's going to be fun.
At the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, the portable shrines of Muromachi 1-chomekai were already displayed, and Japanese lantern was attached at the entrance.
The Yomiuri GIANTS, the shrine parishioner team, also supports the Kanda Festival.
The long holidays from Heisei to Reiwa are over, but I'm still looking forward to next week.
portable shrine in Tachibana-cho (now Higashi-Nihonbashi 3-chome), which is the origin of my blog name "Tachibana," will also gather along Kiyosugi-dori street with portable shrine in Yokoyamacho, Bakurocho and Ryogoku (2-chome Higashi-Nihonbashi) after a procession for the Shinto Festival on May 11.
For more than 60 years, I have been riding a float in Tachibana-cho and carrying a child portable shrine. Now, my classmate at Hisamatsu Elementary School has grown to be able to suppress portable shrine, but I would like to see Kanda festival.
