Nagakusa Tenjin Shrine

The Doburoku Festival at Nagakusa Tenjin Shrine is a Ritual held annually, and is designated as a Tangible Folk Cultural Property by Obu City.[9][10][11]

The Doburoku festival there is said to date back to 1494 (Meiō3), when doburoku was brewed from rice donated by the head of the land and offered to the gods, and the sacred sake was served at an annual festival to parishioners and visitors.[10] Fujita Tamibu donated about 990 m2 in Kanbun5 (1665). Brewing was then suspended in accordance with the times. However, due to epidemic disease in the village, brewing resumed in 1668 (Kanbun 8), and has continued to the present day.[10][11] This resumption is said to have been spearheaded by Denbei Ichimura Katsuyuki, an officer of the Jicho Meifu at the time.

Brewing

Brewing takes place on the temple grounds from early January, with the task rotated among six groups of sake brewers in the Nagakusa area.[10] After the ceremony, the priests and officials drink, followed by the entertainment of the Ujiko (shrine parishioners). In the afternoon, the general public is served.[10] Shōjō, an imaginary animal that likes to drink, is paraded through the grounds of the shrine, and rice cakes are thrown into the air.[10] Around 5:00 p.m., the "towatashi" ceremony, in which the doburoku making tools are handed over to the next year's group, concludes the event.Шаблон:Citation needed
