[:ja]須賀神社例大祭(すがじんじゃれいたいさい)[:en]Suka Shrine example large festival[:]

[:ja]須賀神社例大祭は東京都新宿区で開催されるお祭りです。現在須賀町に鎮座する須賀神社ですが、初めからこちらに位置していたのではありません。実は江戸時代の1634年、江戸城外堀の普請を行うために現在の赤坂周辺から四谷へと遷られる運びとなりました。そしてこの時遷されたのが稲荷神を奉る稲荷神社でもありました。

さて須賀神社は東京四谷の18町内を抱える総鎮守であることから、それぞれの氏子らが交代で神輿渡御を行います。交代しながらの神輿渡御は「本社神輿渡御」と呼ばれており、各町内の氏子らの熱い連携が見られます。「おいさぁ!おいさぁ!」「ほいさぁ!ほいさぁ!」の掛け声で男女共に気持ちを一つにしながら重い神輿を担ぐ様子に見物客も心が滾ります。動画から分かりますように、担ぎ棒を首の後ろに置く「四ッ谷担ぎ」で渡御が行われます。しかし必ずしも四ッ谷担ぎで渡御をしなければならない訳でもなく、肩と腕で神輿を支える江戸前担ぎをする担ぎ手も見られるのです。

さて須賀神社前には階段があるのですが、重い神輿を担いで登るにはかなり大変。担ぎ手も宮入り前に神輿を落としてしまわないよう、1歩ずつ着実に進んでいきます。この時ばかりは担ぎ手らの表情がかなり険しくなり、和やかな雰囲気は立ち消えてしまいます。

それでも最後の力を振り絞って、「おいさぁ!おいさぁ!」の掛け声を上げながら宮入りをするのです。宮入り後は神輿渡御を成し遂げた達成感から境内には笑顔がたくさん見られ、集まった氏子らと観客の全員で祭りの成功を喜び合います。

6月5日(月) 修祭[:en]Suka Shrine is a festival to be held in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo. Although it is a Suka shrine currently present in Suga Town, it was not located here from the beginning. Actually, in 1634 in the Edo era, in order to promote the Edo castle outer moat it was transferred from the current Akasaka area to Yotsuya. And this time it was transferred Inari shrine to serve Inari shrine.

Well, since Suka Shrine is a general guardianship with 18 towns in Yotsuya in Tokyo, each shrine and colleague will take over shinko handover in turn. While shifting the shrine’s shrine transit is called “head shrine mikoshi handed down”, hot cooperation of the family members in each neighborhood can be seen. The shopper’s heart also hurts the appearance of playing a heavy shogun while shaking both feelings to one with both the girls shouting, “Hey Saa! Hey!” As you can see from the movie, you will be handed over at “Yotsuya-shi” which places the stick behind the neck. However, it does not necessarily have to pass with Yotsuya carrying, and you can also see a shipper who plays the Edo front that supports a shrine and arm with a shoulder and arm.

Well, there are stairs in front of Suka Shrine, but it is quite hard to climb a heavy shrine. I will steadily progress one step at a time not to drop the shrine mikoshi before entering the temple. Only at this time the facial expressions of the doors will be pretty steep, and a gentle atmosphere will disappear.

Nevertheless, it is going to enter the temple while raising the call of “Hey Saa! Hey! After entering the temple a lot of smiles were seen in the precincts from the sense of accomplishment that accomplished the shrine transcendent passing, all members of the audience and the gathered friends pleased with the success of the festival.
