本日　神職様よりご招待いただき
上賀茂神社さんにて行われた「土俵入り」に拝見しに行ってまいりました

秋晴れの爽やかな青空のもとで　細殿の前には土俵が作られ
控室から土俵までの花道を　第71代横綱の鶴竜関が進まれると
大きな拍手と歓声が湧きあがりました

たくさんの方々に見守られる中　鶴竜関が土俵入りを奉納
土俵入りには「邪気を払う」という意味合いがあるそうです

横綱はTVで見るより　はるかに大きく　迫力がございました

上賀茂神社さんと土俵入りの歴史も伺い
改めまして上賀茂神社さんの偉大さを感じたひと時でした
ご招待いただきましてありがとうございました

DOHYO-IRI

Today, I went to see the “Dohyo-iri (=Sumo wrestler’s ceremonially entrance into the ring)” at Kamigamo Shrine to which I was invited by the shinto priest.

Under the Autumn clear blue sky, as the 71st Yokozuna “Kakuryu” proceeded the “hanamichi” passage from the ante-room to “Dohyo (ring)”built in front of the Hosodono,
he got big cheers and applause.

While a lot of people were watching, Kakuryu dedicated his “Dohyo-iri”.
It is said that “Dohyo-iri” has the power to drive out the evil spirits.

And I found that Yokozuna was far big and powerful than I usually see on TV.

The history about the “dohyo-iri” at Kamigamo Shrine made me realize the greatness of Kamigamo Shrine once again.
I really appreciate that they invited me.
