    Ibaraki Pref. Itakoshi Uwado 1551
    A Shinto shrine dedicated to Onamuchi-no-mikoto and Sukunabikona-no-mikoto located in Itako City, Ibaraki Prefecture. Records state the shrine was founded in the distant Nanboku-cho period (1336-1392). The shrine's annual festival is held on November 23. As part of the festival, the Uwado-no-Shishimai lion dance, a designated Prefectural Cultural Property, is performed to pray for bountiful harvests. The three lion masks used in the performance are believed to have been donated to the shrine in 1395. The performance consists of an intense dance by a male lion, a graceful dance by a female lion, and a dance which combines elements of the former two by a neuter lion, plus dances by a tengu goblin and okame homely woman.

    Ibaraki Kamisu Ikisu 2882

    「鹿島神宮」「香取神宮」とともに「東国三社」の一つ「息栖神社」だそうです。 「東国三社」は、江戸時代に関東以北の人々が禊ぎの「下三宮参り」と称して、「伊勢神宮」参拝後に「三社」を巡拝する慣習があったというところからうまれたらしいです。 私も「三社」とも行きましたが、一番、ローカル的な雰囲気の「息栖神社」でした。地元の人が多かったかな。 で、観光的な見どころは、常陸利根川沿いにある「一の鳥居」にある...
