通常2月20日には本殿祭と祭り行列の巡行が行われます。しかし、新型コロナウイルス感染症の影響で、今年で３年間一部の神事を除いて開催されていないため、伝統の継承が心配です。特に官女役を務める小学生以下の7人の女児が参加してくれるのか心配です。

I go to shooting the "Ichiya Kanjyo (Shrine maiden only for one night) Festival" as the intangible folk cultural assets of Osaka Prefecture in 19 to 20 February every year at Nozato Sumiyoshi Shrine. There is a shrine in the residential area walked about 10 minutes from JR Tsukamoto Station.

Its enshrined deity is Sumiyoshi Sanjin (Sumiyoshi three Shinto Gods) and Empress Jingu.

Usually in February 20, it is held the Shinto Ritual in Main Shrine and the festival line walk round town. But influence of COVIT-19, I am worry about succession of traditions, because it hasn’t been held from past year except for the sub-divisional Shinto Rituals. In particular, I'm worried about whether or not girls of elementary school age or younger, who play the role of seven Shrine maidens, will participate.

I Thank you for all people of this shrine.

I have Osaka Tenmangu Shrine and many images, including the Tenjin Festival. I am waiting for your contact with the usage contract of the copyrighted work.

I will start consulting on traditional Japanese culture and festivals for foreign people. Nowadays, many Japanese people don't know about it, and they don't have many opportunities to get involved. I am in a unique position to be involved through photography. In fact, I often receive questions from foreign people, when I am in an interval taking photographs.

I am looking forward to your message.
