The festival begins with the ``Ichiban Taiko'' drum, which is played at midnight on Tori Day in November, and is held throughout the day.When there are two Tori Days in November, it is called Ni-no-Tori, and when there are three, it is called San-no-Tori.
Previously, it was called Tori no Machi (Tori no Machi), but gradually the city name was added to it.A market was set up for the festival.Tori no Ichi (Tori no Ichi) is a festival where people listen to the divine wishes of the deities enshrined at Washi Shrine, express gratitude for their blessings, and pray for good luck, good fortune, fertility, prevention of disasters, and prosperous business in the coming year.The company name was also called Washidaimyo Shrine in the past.Originally, the ``large'' in Washi Daimyo Shrine was a sign of respect, and ``Myojin'' was a name dedicated to the deity.In the Toto Saijiki, it is said that the Tori Day, Rooster Festival, and Shimotaya Tahowashi Daimyo Shrine's festival began about 60 years before Kontenho Jinshin (1832). By the Horeki and Meiwa years (1750-1760), the Tori no Matsuri was already very popular, indicating that it had been an annual event even before then.
The haiku in the corner reads, ``Asakusa Taho Tori no Ichi,'' and it says, ``The beginning of waiting for spring, the Tori no Ichi.'' This haiku also refers to the first city opening in Shimotsuki (November), and the new year is getting closer. The poem is probably about a feeling of elation.From these facts, we can see that the Tori no Matsuri was a sacred festival with a long history, and that it was a popular annual event, as many ukiyo-e prints have survived.
