1.What kind of shrines are there in Tsukiji?
There is a shrine called "Tsukiji Namiyoke" Shrine.
It is the guardian deity of Tsukiji.
The origin of Namiyoke Shrine is that after the great fire of Meireki in 1657, the Edo shogunate was carrying out landfill work at Tsukiji, which was at sea level at the time.
Even if the embankment was built , it was swept away by the strong waves , and construction was difficult.
At that time , the sacred body of Inari Okami, who shines on the surface of the sea , appeared , and the people who feared it built a shrine on this land .
Then , after the purification ceremony, the grand festival was held.
After that , the wind and waves subsided , and the reclamation work was completed without incident.
It was the second year of Manji(1659).
People were surprised that the miracle of this divine virtue appeared immediately , and Namiyoke Shrine was born in Tsukiji.
A dragon that commands clouds , a tiger that commands wind , and a giant lion that commands all things with a single cry were dedicated to Namiyoke Shrine.
It is said that the Shishi Festival began with the carrying of this on the shoulder.
This is the Tsukiji Shishi Festival held in June every year.
The people of Tsukiji wear hanten coats with the kanji for wave, which is part of the name of Namiyoke Shrine.
Then people wear it and carry the mikoshi.
From the Edo period to the present, it is enshrined as a god who can overcome disasters and overcome waves.
It is also worshiped for its divine virtues such as warding off disasters, warding off evil, prosperous business, and construction safely.
After the 3rd year of Meireki(1657), the reclamation work by the Edo shogunate ran into difficulties.
A splendid object of worship for Inari Okami, which emits light on the surface of the sea , has appeared.
Build a shrine in this area and hold a grand festival.
In 1659, the storm subsided and the reclamation work was successfully completed .
Worship as Namiyoke Inari , who overcomes the waves and wards off disasters.
