・Takaya Shrine ~ Viewing the illuminations and knife ceremony ~
The Knife Ceremony is an elegant ritual that originated as an Imperial Court event, and is said to have been performed by Oda Nobunaga during the Warring States period, before heading out to battle, to boost the morale of his soldiers. The act of skillfully cooking the fish without touching it, using only chopsticks and a knife, is a solemn offering of culinary techniques and spirit to the gods. It continues to fascinate many people as a valuable cultural experience steeped in history and tradition.
・See the sculptures of Ihachi, a genius Edo period artist. Takeshi Ihachiro Nobuyoshi, also known as "Ihachi of the Waves," was a shrine sculptor who left many works for over 50 temples and shrines, mainly in Chiba Prefecture. It is said that Ihachi's masterpiece, "Treasure on the Waves," had a major influence on Katsushika Hokusai's masterpiece, "Under the Great Wave off Kanagawa."
・Enjoy fresh Awa fish
