TORI NO ICHI

Tori no Ichi is a famous annual tradition festival in November on the day of the ROOSTER (TORI) in Chinese calendar and this event has continued to today since the Edo period.

 

The festival held at shrines and temples on set days (days of the rooster) and people come to pray for a good health, good fortune and business prosperity.

 

There are about 300 rake stalls in the yard of the Otori Shrine selling lucky rakes (KUMADE) decorated with colorful symbols of good fortune, believed to bring wealth to the purchasers.
