[:ja]十二社熊野神社祭礼(じゅうにそう くまのじんじゃさいれい)[:en]Twelve companies Kumano Shrine festival[:]

さて祭りでは化粧を施して衣装をまとった女性の手古舞が神輿の先を先立って歩きます。十二社熊野神社祭礼は西新宿から歌舞伎町周辺までの広域から氏子が参加しまして、多くの神輿が一堂に会する連合渡御が見られるのです。各地域の氏子らが掛け声と共に続々と渡御をしますと、無機質なビル街は一気に熱気に包まれます。

そして十二社神社祭の見どころに千鳥担ぎというものがあります。千鳥担ぎとは両腕を後ろに回しながら、歩幅を狭く徐々に進んでいく全国的に珍しい熊野神社独特の担ぎ方なのです。さらに深く紹介しますと、千鳥担ぎは腕や手ではなく”首の後ろ”で神輿を支えるのです。動画でも首の後ろに担ぎ棒が乗っているのがお分かりでしょうか。

したがって体幹をしっかりさせつつ、歩幅を担ぎ手らで揃えなければならないことから、難しい担ぎ方として知られています。千鳥担ぎは首の後ろに担ぎ棒を置くことから体が反ってしまい、自然と足を投げ出すような恰好になってしまうんですね。どことなくお酒に酔っている方の歩き方、いわゆる千鳥足を彷彿とさせます。ぜひ祭りでは沿道から「おいさっ、ちょいさぁ」の掛け声で担ぎ手に声援を送りましょう。

やはりコツを掴むまでが難しいことから、毎年7月には担ぎ方の講習会を開催しています。祭りに足を運ぶことができない方はこちらの講習会を見学することで、十二社熊野神社祭礼の気分が味わえるでしょう。[:en]Twelve companies Kumano Shrine festival is a festival to be held in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo. It is not necessity to read all over, so it is “everywhere” so make sure you do not make mistakes. Twelve companies Kumano shrine is located in Shinjuku Ward where downtown areas of the city gather, and it is settled in 5 minutes from JR Shinjuku station by bus.
It is famous as a relaxing power spot surrounded by rich greenery while sitting in the city center.

Well, at the festival, women’s hand graffiti wearing makeup and costume wears ahead of the shrine. Twelve companies The Kumano Shrine festival has participated from the wide area from Nishi Shinjuku to around Kabukicho, and you can see the union leaders that many mikoshi meet in one place. When the fathers in each region and others give a chance to go on to hand in hand, the inorganic building streets will be warmly enveloped at once.

And there are things like zigzag playing at the sites of the twelve company shrine festivals. Tiger stag bearer is a unique way of carrying Kumano Shrine rarely nationwide, gradually narrowing the stride while turning both arms back. To introduce it further, the stag bear does not support arm and hand but “back behind the neck” to support a mikoshi. Do you know that even a motion picture carries a carrying stick on the back of the neck?

Therefore, it is known as a difficult way of doing things because it has to trim the trunk while keeping the stride together with the hands. The stag bearers warped from putting the carrying stick behind the neck, and it will become like a thing that throws out nature and feet. It is reminiscent of so-called staggered feet how to walk someone who is drunk drinking somehow. By all means at the festival let ‘s send cheers to the clerk with a cheek of “Hey, Say a little” from the roadside.

As it is still difficult to grasp the knacks, we hold seminars for holding people every July. Those who can not visit the festival will be able to taste the feelings of Kumano Shrine festival by visiting this seminar.
