Message from Professor Michiyo Fujii♪

Heat of late summer we would like sympathy! Cooking School has been holding regular course classes since yesterday.It's still hot day after day, but everyone please take care of your physical condition.Well, the first blog after the Bon Festival is a letter from Michiyo Fujii-sensei.Ise Jingu is undergoing Shikinen Sengu this year.In Ise, there are a lot of events related to it, and one of them is said to have been to participate in the "Oshiraishi Mochi Event", which allows you to go near the Seiden, which is usually inaccessible! **********************************?

Ise Jingu No.62I participated in the Shijingu Shikinen Sengu Oshiraishi Mochi event.

Last year, we invited Mr. Ken Teraoka from Ise to Circle Fuji (a circle run by Mr. Fujii) to give lectures on the Japanese spirit and Ise in Nishinomiya and Ashiya. I was able to hold it twice.From that relationship, I will be able to participate in the Shiraishimochi event this time.

Day XNUMX (August XNUMX)

Practicing etiquette after completing the reception After that, I received a child's heart practice.It seems that it is a row to return to an honest self by playing rock-paper-scissors and doing things like games.

It was strange that everyone was talking like a child.

It's really in your heart.After that, he visited Futami Koshitama Shrine in Futamigaura and was exorcised. IMGP0105.JPG

After dinner, there was a lot of talk about Ise Jingu in the auditorium of the dormitory, but I was so full and tired that I didn't remember most of it.

Day 2 

In the morning, after having breakfast, I changed into white clothes.

It's finally time.

When I went to the gathering place, I was surprised at the number of participants. DSC_05831 [1] .jpg

While we were pulling the Oshiraishi dedication carriage in Oharai-machi and Okage-yokocho, the locals offered us tea and wet towels.The cheers of the participants are energetic and fun!

The Shiraishi offering car was placed in front of the torii, and the participants crossed the Uji Bridge and walked to the sacred precincts. IMGP0132.JPG

After entering the sanctuary, each person wrapped the "white stone" in a white cloth and proceeded to the Shingu's inner wall, near the brand-new main hall, which cannot be entered after the relocation, and dedicated the "white stone" that they had brought with them.It's an emotional moment.After that, there was a closing ceremony at the dormitory and the group was dissolved.

It was so hot that I had matcha shaved ice from Akafuku on the way home.It's been decades.Shaved ice is delicious when it's this hot.I was sweating.

     

I was able to participate in the Shiraishimochi event for the first time, and everyone went home impressed.next time20Years later..... ************************************* Professor Fujii, thank you very much for your letter.It's an event that you can't participate in if you don't have a lot of connections. After 20 years, the building still looks new.Those of you who have actually been there know that the roof of the Seiden in the forest is covered with green moss, and compared to the brand new Seiden, you can feel how old it is.The dismantled building materials will be reused as building materials for other buildings and subordinate companies by scraping the surface.You can feel the unbroken tradition and the culture of regenerating trees.
