久しぶりの参拝です＾＾（前回の口コミが２０１８年だったので、５年ぶりか）家族が建設会社に勤めている関係で、建築の神様でもあるため、半年に一度、会社の幹部で御祈祷を受けているようです。そのためか、近年はあまり会社関係のトラブルがないように感じます。（会社のトップの意向で、ここ１０年ほどは、毎年参拝に行っているようです）今回は夫婦で訪れ、日ごろの御礼参りに伺いました。別宮（椿岸神社）は、夫婦神...

Seki-juku in Kameyama City, Mie Prefecture was a post town serving as the 47th of the 53 Stations of the Tokaido in the Edo period (1603-1868). On the Old Tokaido Road a five-minute walk from JR Seki-juku Station, it is still preserved, and you can get the sense that you have slipped back in time to the Edo period. In the vicinity, there are many interesting places such as a museum introducing the history of Seki-juku and long-established stores, and it is filled with spots to take photographs. In addition, there are still over 200 machiya (traditional wooden townhouses) built from the end of the Edo period (1603-1868) to the Meiji period (1868-1912), and the area itself has been chosen as a Nationally-designated Important Traditional Architecture Preservation District and one of Japan's top 100 roads.

Mie Pref. Kuwanashi Tadochoutado 1681

A Shinto shrine located a 10 minute drive from the Kuwanahigashi Interchange whose history dates back over 1,500 years. The shrine's origins are believed to lie in the building of a shrine here by Emperor Yuryaku in the latter half of the fifth century. The deity enshrined in the main shrine is Amatsuhikone no Mikoto, the son of Sume Omikami. The shrine was destroyed in a wartime fire in 1572. After being rebuilt in the Edo period, the shrine experienced such a revival in popularity, it was said that if one were going to visit the famous Ise Jingu shrine, one must also visit this one. The Tado Festival, held in May, attracts many visitors who come to watch an event in which gallant men ride horse up a steep, two meter near vertical precipice; the number and the order in which riders surmount the precipice foretells how good the harvest will be that year.

多度の上げ馬で坂を転げ落ちたり壁に激突したり流血、骨折で痙攣する馬などを見て恐怖を覚えました。何より馬を取り囲んで殴ったり抑え込んだりする男性たちの怒号がものすごく、子供が怖がって泣き出し、その場を離れてもずっと口をききませんでした。あんなものを伝統などと見せ物にする神経が全くわかりません。二度とあの神社には行きません。

Mie Pref. Suzukashi Shirokohonmachi 21-30

This museum presents a collection of items related to Ise Katagami paper stencils. It's a five-minute walk from the east exit of Kintetsu Nagoya Line's Shiroko Station. Ise Katagami is one of the methods used for dying patterns on kimono. It's made with a variety of techniques involving shibugami, paper treated with astringent persimmon juice. Designs are then cut into the paper to create the stencils. The restored building that houses the museum was built in the late Edo Period. It was the home of Terao Saibee, a prominent Shiroko katagami wholesaler. It's been designated a Suzuka City Historic Site. In addition to the katagami stencils, the museum also displays kimono dyed using them and the tools used to make them. You can try making bookmarks using shibugami paper and small shikishi (fancy paperboard squares) too.

団体で行きましたので説明員の方が付き、歴史や様々な技を映像などでひととおり見た後、実際に職人さんの実演を見せていただきました。和紙を何枚も重ねて型紙にすること、模様にあわせて道具も一から手作りであること、そして根気のいる作業、と何から何まではじめて知ることばかりで驚きました。継承には苦労も多いそうですが、このような場を通して広くPRしていただきたいです。
