Toshi-no-ichi for New Year's was limited to Asakusa until the middle of the Edo period. On the other hand, Senso-ji Temple's fair is held on the 18th of each month, and both the 17th and 18th are the last fairs of the year, and are also days of pilgrimage to Kannon to give thanks for a safe year and wish for a good year next year. It was an annual event in Edo, showing even more liveliness.Samurai families and large merchants should have their retainers and servants carry guards and long-sleeved kimonos, rush into Asakusa in droves, buy at the same store every year, and drop by a restaurant on the way home to show off their spirit. It seems that it was touted like a profit.After the Meiji period, people began to purchase New Year's supplies at regular stores, and the atmosphere of Toshi-no-Ichi gradually faded. I'm here.
