The Tori-no-ichi Festival in 2024 (Reiwa 6)

November 5th (Tuesday) First Day of the Rooster
Sunday, November 17th - Second Day of the Rooster
November 29th (Friday) Third Day of the Rooster

Event time (each day): 12:00am to 12:00am
In the sixth year of Reiwa, the ceremony will be held until the third day of the Tori festival.

The festival begins with the striking of the "Ichiban Taiko" drum at midnight on the day of the Rooster in November, and continues throughout the day.When there are two Rooster days in November it is called the Second Rooster, and when there are three it is called the Third Rooster.

It used to be called Tori no Machi (Tori Town), but gradually the characters for city were used to refer to it.A market was set up to celebrate the festival.Tori no Ichi (Tori no Matsuri) is a festival where people ask the divine will of the deity enshrined at Washi Shrine, give thanks for his blessings, and pray for good fortune, blessings, increased production, protection from disasters, and prosperous business in the coming year.The shrine was formerly called Washi Daimyojin Shrine.Originally, the "Dai" in Washi Daimyojin Shrine was a sign of respect, and "Myojin" was a title used to worship a god.The Toto Saijiki states that the Rooster Day, Rooster Festival, and bustle of Shimoyata Hoshu Daimyojin Shrine date back more than 60 years before the current Tenpo Jinjin era (1832). This shows that the Rooster Festival was already a very lively event during the Horeki and Meiwa eras (1750-60) and that it had been held as an annual event even before that.

In Sokaku's haiku, "Asakusa Rice Field and Tori no Ichi," there is the line, "The Tori no Ichi festival marks the beginning of the wait for spring." This haiku also describes the first market to be held in Shimotsuki (November), and perhaps conveys the excited feelings as the New Year draws near.These facts show that the Tori no Matsuri is a sacred festival with a long history, and that it was a popular annual event, as evidenced by the large number of ukiyo-e prints that have been produced based on it.
