綴子の大太鼓

The Huge Drums of Tsuzureko

　鎌倉時代弘長2年（1262年）頃から、綴子八幡宮を再興した常覚院元端道亨が山伏神楽を信仰神事に結び付け、太鼓の祭り、獅子踊り、出陣行列の行事を行ったのが始まりと伝わっている。雨ごいと五穀豊穣、豊年万作等の祈願の信仰行事と考えられている。江戸時代に入り、上方（上町）は徳川方、下方（下町）は豊臣方の出陣行列と変わり、統一化した行事として毎年7月14日に宵宮、15日に本宮が盛大に行われるようになった。（国選択無形民俗文化財）

It is said that this festival was started around 1262 by Joukakuin Genzui Doukyou who revived Tsuzureko Hachiman shrine. Joukakuin Genzui Doukyou is to be said that he first connected Yamabushi Kagura, dance performance by mountain priests, with Shinto ritual and then started a festival composed of a dance of drums, lion dance and a march into battle.
The festival itself is believed to be a ritual event to pray for rain, and a rich and eternal harvest. From the Edo period, the style of the festival had been changed. People are separated into two groups; Kami-machi and Shimo-machi and each group holds their own march into battle, Kami-machi is for the team Tokugawa, and Shimo-machi is for the team Toyotomi. However, it has been merged into one festival now. Every year on the 14th of July, Yoi-miya, and on the 15th Hon-miya is held. (a selected intangible property of folk culture registered by Japan)
