DANZIRI

I’ll introduce traditional Japanese culture. What is particularly is Japanese festival. There’re many festivals in Japan. I’ll introduce Osaka festival, because I was born in Osaka, and was brought up in there. They’re always carried out once a year. They’re a kind of main event in summer. But I want to introduce festival is carried out in autumn. It’s called “DANZIRI” in Japanese. It’s what is a called a portable shrine. A lot of people carry a portable is DANZIRI. It’s very big and heavy, and it was built from woods. It’s different from every a town. As it does very well in this district, it exists everywhere. For example, “UEMACHI” and “MINAMIMACHI”, “OTEMACHI”, “SAKAIMACHI” “HARUKIMINAMI”… It’s going to be very much. Especially, it thrives the south district in Osaka. Kisiwada’s danziri is the most famous in Japan. They’re broadcast in the whole country. At the same time, I know that they’re keen competition. But they fascinate many people in spite of they’re keen competition. It’s covered some a drama. Most of my friends live there, so I had gone to high school south district in Osaka. I don’t carry portable, I know about DANZIRI. Because I was often listening to their how to spend the festival’s time. Almost the people didn’t come to school during danziri’s seasons. Because those who carry a portable exercise everyday. First, they hold a meeting. It’s called “YORIAI” in Japanese. This is a word derived from Japanese history. There were those who called a farmer in the Edo period. They were holding a meeting at every night. They talked over a cup of alcoholic drinks. They step to make friends everyone. The history has never changed by now. The history will be inherited after this. Second, they run a long distance to build up their physical strength every night. They can’t carry a very big and heavy portable shrine if they neglect their exercise. They are physical matches. Boys and girls aren’t related. At the same time, senior people and young people aren’t　related. All the people have same mind. Everyone has an argent love of DANZIRI. Anybody .can’t carry portable. They are the age limit. Girls can carry portable until graduate high school, but boys aren’t the age limit. I think that they are unfair. In fact, my friends said that they want to carry portable a few days. Why are girls the age limit? I don’t know them. In spite of their problem, I think that women’s problem exist everywhere. They seem to be dwindling, but I should abolish them completely. Third, Those who carry a portable must join “SEINENDAN”. Their history dates back to the Muromachi era. They are introduced from their era. They were almost joined in fifteen years old. They were learned right from wrong by adults. And they defened their village. It seems to be many festival events from this era. Older men are in a high position. Their customs haven’t changed from this era. Person who step top of danziri are the most in a high position. They’re taken over parent and child. In fact, my friend seems to step top of danziri next year. It’s a great. Their term are two days. They’re held the previous day of respect for the aged day. The beginning is at nine in the morning, and the closing is a ten at night. They have a rehearsal for the performance in KISIGI shrine. It’s called “SHIKENBIKI” in Japanese. They’re held from September through October in Kisiwada city. Danziri’s costumes are very cool. Everyone put on happi coats, and wear with the big toes. They’re called Japanese socks in Japanese. And they wear a towel around their head. Their town’s name are written in the happi coats. Their hair are very cool. All of boys are black hair and have their head shaved. But they’re different from the general priest. There’re a few hair. They’re called “SENSYUGARI” in Osaka. Because Kiiwada is located in Sensyu district. All of girls braid their hair. It’s very cool. Danziri is very great, but they’re killed in the accident every year. Kisiwada’s danziri are famous for violent. They’re often broadcast in the whole country. Because they run at full speed. But their passion is great. They love “DANZIRI”. Danziri’s seasons should be a holiday, because they don’t come to school. It seems to be a holiday in Sensyu district. I think that everyone go to see “DANZIRI”. Danziri is a symbol in Osaka. I take pride in Osaka people. I love Osaka.
