The festival of recent years


Hello.

I write the last continuance in this first one. Because it was a virtual thing, it was one of the problems that I faced by a current festival of Japan and took it up by this theme setting.

They need one year for the exercise of the musical accompaniment at once. This doesn’t have the difference in town of Ogaki of any place. In addition, for securing of talented person , the thing named “the musical accompaniment club” which teaches the elementary school of the neighborhood a musical accompaniment exists. It was said that I taught a musical accompaniment once a month, and I have seen the thing called the figure which wrestled eagerly with TV there.

However, declining birthrate almost advances to both a lot of areas not to have and such a place like other areas, and a young person disappears. Then, as a result it is thought about in each town participating in the same festival the age group of a person performing art varying widely. There are many old people in the town which there is again, and there is the place going to if I think whether a primary schoolchild goes in the certain town. In the former case, it is a problem to be impossible of participation for the festival of the town that it is thought when nobody is inherited as it is. A tradition was not inherited, and this is a problem of Japan not a problem only for Ogaki if a problem of Gifu is big and looks. It is the one which there is no help for it even if such a thing happens in the modern society where population and industry are concentrated in the metropolis.

The solution to such problem is participation of the festivals of the youths. The youth who is in the metropolis participates in an event to affect the festival of the town where they were born and raised, and the story is different when I show posture wrestling until a festival together. In late years they have the phenomenon that the youth who gradually left outside a town comes back to the town of Ebisu that I wrote and participates in last time. In addition , it is very few, but originally I was not born and raised in the town, but the case which I am interested and concerned with is thought about like my case. Because the town where I was born and raised was only included in Ogaki merger, even the festival car much less the musical accompaniment has not lasted. There is only the talk I had, and, according to the present study, the evidence including the photograph and the article that it is don’t come out at all in old days. If really had, is splendid, even if is discovered and is proud of the town where I was born and raised, don’t think too much now.

I intended to speak recent festival circumstances, but have been talked about my hometown finally. I talk to a friend in this way well. “Myself you mean what by this with two hometowns,” or the person who read this article will be accompanied by imagination. It is useful plenty in an understaffed town me. Thanks to abundance of the knowledge of my Ogaki festival, a story knows it to a person meeting 20 years old on a birthday of this year for a little less than 60 generations much less the same age. I am proud of such ability and want to act as the point from now on as I don’t break these relations.

There is it by the end this time in such a place. As for the next time in fun.

Material

Hello.
I cannot express this theme briefly, but am a preliminary stage.
It means how that festival is possible.
I want to write the thing which in a sense is local which even a Japanese doesn’t know very much.
Please go together this time.
As for this thing, Ogaki Festival becomes the material at once.
It originates in that my hometown is Ogaki, Gifu.
Is only a braggart, but thanking you in advance.
At first the event about festival lasts one year.
The participant of the festival may think the festival to be an instant, but is the gift which has been made for one year.
The town having a festival car has a meeting once a mouth and begins from the reflection society of the festival that I did in the year and talks about the future prospects.
Because the festival car is appointed in cultural assets, the preservation activity is great.
After all it’s the property from old days.
In addition, they lay emphasis on the preservation of the doll which modeled God because they personify God.
One case is ”Ebisu state.”
A family keeping the head of the doll for one year exists and cannot be away from this.
For example, this is because it is over when it encounters theft.
Therefore I am not good when I send you with a caretaker with none of somebody for one year.
However, the person thinking in the wake of this has nobody.
This is because Ebisu is worshiped as “God of the good luck” in Japan.
On the contrary, there are many people feeling that thank you for coming and is.
Because it features a musical accompaniment, the festival car worshiping this God must perform the exercise of the musical accompaniment.
This has a tradition.
They are always haunted by a sense of duty to have to follow a musical accompaniment to continue from the Edo era when a festival began in.
However, this tradition cannot catch up with losing recent youths, and a festival car gradually to be able to completely manage has been limited.
When I was born in the town taking away this time, it was perfect, but unfortunately becomes weak now.
Only as for one, there is barely the all the musical accompaniments storing a thing as the rhythm was just taught several pieces by a teacher in music.
The person except it can play only two or three pieces to become the basis.
A more terrible person has the person has the person who cannot play a flute to play it.
I am a former person.
I remember that it was quite hard to play a flute.
It was the time of elementary school six years first that it blew.
Therefore then it is eight years in this year.
I touched it only several times the other day, but was able to blow when I touched it suddenly.
They take one year, and this exercise is carried out now, too.
It seemed to be able to blow commonly in old days because there was a habit to remember music when the person who lived there had a flute even if they didn’t practice it to there.
However, they don’t seem to be able to make progress to there for one year because there isn’t the person who can blow to there as naturally having mentioned above now either.
It is to here this time.
As for the next time in fun.
As for the next theme, recent in the plan; worship you, but want to write his continuance in a beginning.

The kind of stand


Hello.
This theme is” a stand.”
Everybody hears it with a stand, and what kind of image will you remember?
I think that I get a real sense when after all I came to the festival when I watch it whether it is place and what which I make when I sell.
Such a festival stand is today’s theme.
The person who has not come for a festival of Japan may not understand it, but there is the stand selling “takoyaki, octopus dumplings” and “okonomiyaki, savory pancake with various ingredients” and the food which said in the kind of the stand, but there is the thing which the premium such as “scooping goldfish” and “the quoits” follows so far.
A cold thing such as the chipped ice is sold for a summer festival.
This gains an image to be hot if I say in the summer.
Then I come to want a cold thing.
Because the sweat flows very hard, hydration becomes important.
In other words it is cold and becomes the ice which is colder than the water which can drink water.
But I cannot continue having the ice all the time.
This is because there is not taste.
Thing, it which seasoned this become the chipped ice.
I came to see the thing which pricked the stick with a cucumber with a stand recently.
For the festival of the place where I lived in, there was the one style thing which changed to the stand.
It is “palmistry” and “a haunted.”
Most of the former has not seen a visitor, but start a stand every year in the same place.
When the latter always becomes the objection with the crowdedness on schedule, an announcement of the broadcast drifts.
However, there is always “haunted house” for some reason in the site of the Shinto shrine.
Even if the haunted house appears judging from a Japanese concept from the graveyard in the temple, and there is it in a Shinto shrine ,ghost don’t usually appear.
But nobody thinks about this question.
This is because the announcement of the haunted house is such a thing with a person.
There is the stand selling a round fan.
Originally hot summer was made as a thing enjoying the cool air, but a character thing or a popularity idol thing are sold to this a lot now.
In addition, the mask is sold, too.
There are a lot of aspects of the character thing for a child again, and, including Japanese original “tortoise”, “a man with a clownish mask ,” this is in a condition that the person who always watches it doesn’t die out.
I understand the size of the scale of the festival with the number of stands too.
If there is few it , only it knows a thing for not only the person who lives there if there is many it but also tourists by an area original festival.
Besides, I have abundant stands for a festival of Japan.
Was there your favorite stand in the inside that I took up?
Or is it other things?
When you came for a festival of Japan, please feel a true festival to see this stand.
That is all this time.
As for the next time in fun.

Entertainment


I take up an entertainment this time.
Concerning culture, I talked about a marvel of the Japanese faith last time.
The entertainment varies by a festival.
When a miniature shrine, a festival car, the various things including the stand become the festival are come out and celebrated it.
In addition, the ceremony dancing the dance of the purge is held in the Shinto shrine and has the solemn atmosphere.
This dance varies in some implication by holding time.
For example, that let the illness such as the contagious diseases that will be raging in summer to greet from now on in the case of early summer disperse; have a meaning.
In addition, that celebrate a good harvest and a big catch when is performed in autumn; have a meaning.
A human being may perform the dance, but a mechanism doll may dance.
There are many these in the Chubu District, but, by the similar dance, there becomes much Shinto shrine which went outdoors than the building in the audience.
They control one story, and please the harvest, the eyes of the audience to a doll, not only the dance but also worshiping you exists in Japan
That you say Japanese also original culture is such a thing, but is slightly different from the foreign thing.
I came out, but even if Shinto and the Japanese cut it, I am not sharp and have a deep relationship last time.
In other words a thing playing it with a mechanism doll is that the chief character is often God.
It is a mythical story.
Because the labor is serious at time to study the whole book even if I say a myth, it is often what I extract the part which seems to be important partially, and is performed.
In addition, as for the clothes substitute is difficult because it is a doll and is not only the thing which can change its clothes already.
But I change a physical part and need a device in various ways by all means when transformation is necessary.
They are changed the color of the face and put on a mask and change a face, but it is readily difficult to do a smile in an angry face instantly.
In addition, there are many difficult parts when they are changed into the thing such as the building which is not a person.
There is the device that normal, it is not thought to occasionally enable it how you hide clothes wearing when you change it into a thing.
There is an interesting place, but thinks that the person who looked for the first time is surprised.
It had deviated from the main subject considerably, but understood that they performed a dance when they were gathered it up.
Then what kind of thing is it to carry a miniature shrine on their shoulder?
About the sedan chair which God gets on It let you do around the area that a Shinto shrine occupies depending on a district one lap, and a miniature shrine seems to be a thing doing the greetings circumference.
When there is a Shinto shrine in the neighborhood, I do greetings rotation equally.
To here about a miniature shrine I do it this time to here.
I take away a stand on the next time.

Culture


This week, the theme is “Culture” as I expressed it last time.
A festival of Japan includes much culture.
If there is the thing abreast of Shinto, there is it when I know Christianity.
In the case of Japan, there is the thing which these have originality toward, but there is the fusing thing.
About such a festival I look this week.
For example, it is New Year’s Day.
This is a respected festival in Japan, too.
This is a thing connected to the Shinto in Buddhism, and the Japanese goes to a Shinto shrine and the Buddhist temple.
“A New Year’s visit to a Shinto shrine” means this.
I did the thing which appealed for a wish to God called the prayer directly in one soon this year over five places of Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines of the hometown.
Many people made a long line as well as this prayer, we family and lined up.
In the case of us, I finished a prayer in first one place, but other four places became the long line in the same way, too.
In addition, unique music “gagaku” was played in each Shinto shrine place and brought on a special atmosphere.
Something may be aware between one of here.
As for it, there is always plural God in Japan.
In other words there is a festival peculiar to each to the gods.
Therefore there are a lot of festivals in Japan as wrote last time.
However, all the Japanese are embarrassed by some Buddhist temple and Shinto shrine from New Year’s Day to 3rd and ask for health and bed of roses for one year.
The Japanese celebrates Christmas if I think.
This is the Christian festival that is not Shinto and Buddhism.
Like other countries, a tradition to get a present from Santa Claus passes in Japan on that day.
Generally it is only only children to trust Santa Claus.
Adults and the couples change the present.
As for making Christmas when give a present often.
I do not know which religion such a Japanese believes in.
It is thought that I do the faith form that cannot be other races.
When the Japanese who is a many religion race is the superior talented person who can apply it to all countries of the world, judging from the thing in conjunction with the festival, it may be said that it is so, but, actually, seems to be different.
There are a lot of people believing in Buddhism, but the human being trusting Christmas thinks like a false Buddhism believer.
Were some marvels of the Japanese culture not able to understand it?
The example which I gave this time only set an example to see and hear well every day.
As for such a thing, it is supposed every day in each place.
The topic returns towards some Shinto shrines, but God has sex by all means.
Because I think that it is Got of the man or the woman, or the big Shinto shrine  says it, I think that what I mind is good.
It is to here this time.
I take up an entertainment of festival on the next time.
