[:ja]小田原ちょうちん夏祭り(おだわらちょうちんなつまつり)[:en]Odawara Lantern Summer Festival (Odawara Lantern Summer Festival)[:]

[:ja]小田原ちょうちん夏祭りは神奈川県小田原市で開催されるお祭りです。さて現在の神奈川県小田原市には、五街道は東海道五十三次の宿場である小田原宿がありました。また小田原ちょうちんは神奈川県の小田原が発祥の伝統工芸品でもあり、当時の旅人にとって人気商品でした。一般的なちょうちんは中心部に膨らみがあるのに対し、小田原ちょうちんはスッキリした円筒形。実は小田原ちょうちんにはある工夫がされていまして、上下のフタに蛇腹の本体を収納できるようになっているんですね。工夫のおかげでコンパクトに携帯出来るなど、遠距離を移動する旅人のニーズにマッチしていました。さらに大雄山最乗寺の神木が材料に用いられている宣伝も行われ、化け物・悪霊の存在が恐れられていた時代には抜群のセールスでした。しかし現在は需要が低迷し、小田原ちょうちんを作る職人が激減しているそうです。そのため将来的には小田原ちょうちんが作られなくなる可能性も否定できません。

さて小田原ちょうちん夏祭りでは約20以上もの団体が参加する自治体みこしパレードも行われるんですよね。担ぎ手の数は約1,500人に達することから規模は大きいです。会場の小田原城址公園から出発した神輿は市内を回り、気持ちを一つにしながら進んでいきます。途中で「どっこい!どっこい!」と威勢の良い掛け声が聞こえますが、これは甚句に合わせてどっこい神輿が行われている最中です。小田原流や江戸前流もありますので、一緒に掛け声を上げてみてはいかがでしょうか?嬉しいことに担ぎ手を募集する自治体もありまして、当日にパレードに参加したいという方は各自治体のサイトをチェックしてみてください。

そして文化の継承やPRを兼ねて、自分だけのオリジナル小田原ちょうちんを手作りできる体験コーナーも設けられます。祭りの参加記念にお一つ作ってみてはいかがでしょうか?[:en]Odawara Lantern The Summer Festival is a festival to be held in Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Well now in Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, there were Odawara Inn, a five-way road on the Tokaido fifty-three stations. Odawara lantern is also a traditional craftwork originated by Odawara in Kanagawa Prefecture, and it was a popular item for travelers of those days. A general lantern has a bulge in the center, whereas Odawara lantern is a refreshing cylindrical shape. Actually Odawara lantern has been devised, it is possible to store the body of bellows in the top and bottom lid. Thanks to ingenuity, we were able to compactly carry it, so it matched the needs of travelers traveling a long distance. In addition, the propaganda in which the Shogi of Ozuyama Sonjoji Temple was used as a material was also done, and it was an outstanding sales in the era when the existence of monsters and evil spirits was feared. However, demand seems to be sluggish now, and it seems that craftsmen who make Odawara lantern are drastically decreasing. Therefore, we can not deny the possibility that Odawara lantern will not be made in the future.

By the way, at the Odawara Lantern Summer Festival, there is also a municipal parade parade where about 20 or more organizations participate. The scale is large because the number of carrying buddies reaches approximately 1,500 people. A mikoshi departed from the Odawara Castle Ruins Park in the venue goes around the city and progresses with one feeling. While you can hear “awesome! Dirty!” And a dashing cheek, this is a miserable mikoshi being carried out in line with the phrase. There are also Odawara style and Edo front style, so why not try raising a cheer together? Fortunately there are municipalities who want recruiting hands and those who want to participate in the parade on the day please check the site of each municipality.
