　The 400-year-old tradition of summer in Asakusa Kannonura, "Ofuji-san no Ueki-ichi," is said to have originated at the Asakusa Sengen Shrine fair.Originally, the last day of May and the first day of June were public holidays, but due to the calendar change in 1872, Mt. Fuji started climbing on July 1st. It is now held on the final Saturday and Sunday.Asakusa Sengen-jinja Shrine and the roads around it are lined with gardeners and various other vendors, and since the season of plum blossoms is a good time to transplant plants, the plants bought here are said to have good roots, and the reputation spreads. It has become a large-scale market as “Of Fuji’s Ueki Market”.In today's Ueki-ichi, the main venue, "Yanagi-dori," has been turned into a pedestrian zone, and gardeners line up.At night, the "Matagi Lanterns" are lit up, giving you a sense of the Edo atmosphere.With the Asakusa Kannonura Promotion Association at the center, we want to pass on the "Of Fuji's Ueki Market" to the next generation with its old-fashioned and vibrant appearance.
I think.
