Hatsu-Ebisu
| (Hatsu-Ebisu at Ebisu Shrine, Kyoto is here.) |
|
A festival to pray for prosperous business
It is held at Ookuninushi-sha and Kotoshironushi-sha,
at Kamichikama-jinja in Atsuta shrine.
The festival starts at midnight.
People scramble to get talismans for business success.
It is said that if you talk to someone or hang around on the way to home,
good luck will go away.
So, even if people meet their friends, some do not talk at all.
They rush to home and put a talisman in the gods' olave in a house.
