Water Cloud Shrine Annual Festival

Water Cloud Shrine Annual Festival

Event Overview

It was located downstream of the confluence of the Abu-Sumi River and the Yurugami River, and every heavy rain caused flooding, causing the flow of the river to change and afflicting the villagers. At the end of the Muromachi period, the Abu-Sumi River flowed just west of the shrine, and a flood in one year caused the old tree's Ousu to flow. In the battle of Matsukawa, the legend of "Hidden Usu" was told that Date Masamune escaped the difficulties of hiding in Ousu at Moshiba (upper reaches of the river), and the oracle of "This is the hidden Usu of Masamune" was told, the fact that it was enshrined as a sacred body is noted in the shrine's story. The Fushiguro district was a zone that flourished as a sericulture zone. The "unwheeled floats of the palace", which is performed every other year (the odd year of the A.D.), is a brave man. * There is no entrance to the palace in 2024.

Bandai Shrine's boat-pulling festival and priestess dance

Three bales of rice are piled up on a wooden boat called Iifune, and two tins are attached to each end of the boat, which is drawn to the east and west by Ujiko. A Shinto ritual that divests the pattern of the year: "a good harvest" if the east wins after three wins, and "the price of rice rises" if the west wins. The judgment is made directly by Bandai Myojin. The Miko Dance, held on the same day, consists of three dances, with "Sakaki no Mai", "Yumi no Mai" and "Tachi no Mai" being dedicated.
