神前浦天王祭

祭り情報

天王祭は、毎年７月に三重県南伊勢町神前浦で行われる、正徳６年頃（1716）から続く祭りです。
舟形の御船は笹や提灯で飾られ、唄い手や笛・太鼓を乗せ、地区内を練り歩きます。紅白の紐をつけて、長い時間をかけて曳きまわす様子は漁師町を感じさせます。
その後、神様を漁船にうつし、湾内を回航しながら提灯を一つずつ浮かべていくと幻想的な光景があらわれます。帰港すると、町内随一の規模を誇る大輪の花火が夜空に打ち上げられます。

The Tenno Festival is held every July in Kamisaki-ura, Minamiise Town, Mie Prefecture. This festival has continued since the Shotoku period (1716).
The boat-shaped Mifune is decorated with bamboos and lanterns and carries singer, Japanese flutes and drum. The boat is tied with red and white strings and pulled around for a long time, reminding one of a fisherman's town.
God are then transferred to fishing boats, which sail around the bay. A fantastic scene is created when the lanterns are floated one by one. When the boat returns to port, a huge fireworks display, the largest of its kind in the town, is launched into the night sky.
