大阪天満宮の所在地は地下鉄南森町駅から徒歩５分程度の場所です。
天神祭は日本三大祭の一つなので全国的に有名で毎年テレビ中継もあります。
7月24日に宵宮があり、7月25日には本宮が行われます。
天神祭は大阪天満宮が鎮座した2年後の天暦5年（９５１年）6月1日より始まったとされていますが、今日までに戦乱や動乱、感染症の蔓延 等で何回も中止されています。
新型コロナウィルス感染症では2020年（令和２年）から2023年（令和5年）の５月に５類感染症に移行するまでは通常の祭りは行われませんでした。
今年は私にとって、そして、天神祭もいつもと違う内容となりました。

例年では、陸渡御は御神水に続いて催太鼓が出発しますが、今年は諸般の事情で参加しておられなかったため猿田彦、神鉾講に続いて出発しました。渡御列は中央公会堂を過ぎて天神橋北詰で乗船します。

私は御旗講の世話役 樋口 様のご好意で渡御船に同乗させていただきました。
渡御船上からみる船渡御は初めてでしたが、船上からみた奉納花火と船渡御といういい作品を撮影できました。
船渡御は大川を北上して飛翔橋で戻ります。
午後10時過ぎから宮入、還御祭が行われ、鳳神輿、玉神輿の宮入が行われました。

天神祭は大阪を代表する大規模な祭りであるため、1人で全てを撮影するのは何年もかかります。
今までの多くの方のご協力で撮影を続けてきました。
ご協力下さった大阪天満宮、御旗講、祭礼関係者、参加者の皆様ありがとうございました。

I had been to shooting the Tenjin Festival of Osaka Tenmangu Shrine in Osaka-City, North ward in from July 24 to July 25 2024.
Osaka Tenmangu Shrine is
location a place of about 5 minutes’ walk from the subway Minami-morimachi
Station.
Tenjin Festival is nationally
famous and it is relayed by television every year because it is one of the
Japan's three biggest festivals.
They say that the Tenjin
Festival have begun on June 1st, 951, two years after Osaka Tenmangu Shrine was
enshrined, but has been canceled many times since then due to wars, unrest, and
the spread of infectious diseases. Due to the COVIT-19 infection, normal
festivals were not held from 2020 until that was classified as a Class 5
infectious disease in May 2023.
Yomiya festival (The previous
date) had been held at July 24.
