Starting with the sound of the "Ichiban Taiko" beaten at midnight on the day of the Rooster in November, the festival continues throughout the day.When there are two Tori no Hi in November, it is called Ni no Tori, and when it occurs three times in November, it is called San no Tori.
It used to be called Tori-no-Machi (the festival of the rooster), but gradually the character for city came to be used.A market was set up at the festival.The Tori no Ichi (Tori no Ichi) is a festival to ask for the blessings of the enshrined deity of Oshi Shrine, thank the deity, and pray for good luck, blessings, increased production, warding off disasters, and prosperous business in the coming year.The name of the shrine used to be Washidaimyo Shrine.Originally, the "big" of Washidaimyo Shrine was for respect, and the "Myojin" was for deities.In the Toto Saijiki, it is said that the day of the rooster, the festival of the rooster, and Shimoyata Howashi Daimyo Shrine have been bustling with people for about 60 years or more before the present Tenpo Imshin (1832). In the Horeki and Meiwa eras (1750-60), the Tori no Matsuri was already quite popular, and we can see that it had been held as an annual event even before that.
The haiku at the corner says, "Asakusa Taho / Tori no Ichi", "The beginning of waiting for spring and the Tori no Ichi". It must be chanting an uplifting feeling.From these facts, we can see that the Rooster Festival is a sacred festival with a long history, and at the same time, it was popular as an annual event because many ukiyo-e prints were left.
