My daughter, Azuki, 3 years old, Kanda festival!
This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.♪
Kanda festival was held on Saturday, May 11 and 12 (Sun).
Mr. Sam, a senior correspondent, has already reported (Kamiyuki Festival seen from above, it is a wonderful photo!)
The Edamame family living in the shrine parishioner area also participated.
Of course, my daughter Azuki (younger).
Compared to two years ago, I became able to understand various things, and above all, there are many kindergarten friends in the same town, so I can enjoy a lot of festivals.
I would like to tell you about the situation of Azuki.
~ 1 month ago, schedule announcement~
A month before going back.
It was just around the time that Azuki reached the entrance ceremony.
The event schedule as a neighborhood association was posted on bulletin boards in the town.
(Departure time of Miyairi of the adult portable shrine and the child portable shrine & floats, etc.)
Looking at the notice and thinking, "What's Reiwa?" (Soon after the announcement of the new era), the schedule is perfectly checked.
And shortly after that, on the bulletin board of the apartment where I live.
"News of the Neighborhood Association Half-Mounting Lending".
In order to pull the children's floats on the day of the festival, you have to apply for a rental properly.
That's why this announcement is very important.
If you live in a condominium, I think it is better to have a habit of checking the bulletin board frequently!
~ 1 week ago, the streets that are being prepared~
When the GW is over.
This area will also become a "festival preparation mode".
On the path through the procession of the Shinto Festival, a small flag with the word "Kanda festival" is displayed.
At the shrine in your neighborhood, Japanese lantern and
The banner of "Kanda Myojin Festival commemorating the throne of His Majesty the Emperor".
A lot of names came in on the bulletin board with the name of the festival donor.
When you pass around the neighborhood neighborhood association
He seemed to be steadily preparing to welcome portable shrine.
Azuki was watching this, too.
(I think it's reacting even though my mother Edamame said, "It's almost the festival.")
The phrase "Junbi Junbi of the festival!" Was used a lot.
It seemed that the feeling of "Enjoy the festival!" was increasing.
Finally, the day!
On the day. I was blessed with fine weather that was different from two years ago!
It must have been good for everyone's daily activities.
Both children's floats and portable shrine start vigorously!
If you notice, there are a lot of friends in the same class in kindergarten!
Because it is a municipal kindergarten (= elementary school has an address and a kindergarten destination), it is natural that there are many neighbors.
It seemed to be very fun to be able to participate with all the good friends, and I think it was a different fun experience to walk together while saying "Washyoi!"
And... Snack at the stop in portable shrine on the way!
I don't always feed such a lot of azuki, but do you say that festival days are special?
Including that, I think it was fun for Azuki.
Indeed, it is that good classmates are lining up with big ice cream.
It is true that it was quite cute (a lot of stupids occurred).
On the wooden tag of the amulet ...
By the way.
The children who participated in the neighborhood association's children portable shrine & floats received a talisman wooden tag.
If you look closely at the back side ...
The word "To commemorate the throne of His Majesty the Emperor."
This is really for this year, isn't it?
I think you got something valuable.
A festival procession near Arima Elementary School!
On Saturday, after the children's floats are over, go near Arima Elementary School
I've seen the "Shinko Festival" and the "Attached Festival".
The "Shinko Festival" is a major event in which a Horai carrying the enshrined deity of Kanda Myojin walks through the shrine parishioner area over a day.
Of course, they also come to this area.
・・The costume without rain feathers is so beautiful.
(Thinking about two years before heavy rain ...)
And the Horai, which travels through the fine weather, shines brilliantly.
It was very impressive.
That's right. This place was not so wide, so it was a good spot where you could see the Horai at a considerable close distance.
Azuki also seemed to be enjoying "beautiful" and "awesome".
And the festival.
It is an event that revived the dance stand, pulling, and costume procession, which were very popular during the Edo period, in Heisei.
This time again, large floats such as "Hanasaki or Grandpa" and "Urashima Taro" appeared and caught my eye.
On the way, the acrobatics came to front of you and showed off various techniques, and I think it was fun for small children.
I look forward to seeing you again!
That's why I spent a great enjoyment and a very satisfying festival.
When I went to kindergarten in the morning on Monday, I saw the festival clearing up.
"The festival is over?"
"If you become Kirin-gumi or Elephant-gumi (← Name of senior class), let's do it again."
That's right. The next festival of Kanda Myojin will be two years later.
I'm going to be an old man.
In the garden where Azumino attends, the elder says, "My brother and sister who take care of the younger."
It is a school year that starts with changing to shoes when going to the park, and also helps young people when measuring their height and weight.
・・・ Will you be able to take care of someone?
I can't imagine it at all ... ？
Well, what's going on? ？
My mother's anxiety is not exhausted, but I want to look forward to two years from now!
