    the fuigo festival is the annual festival of this shrine.

    Original Text

     There was a small shrine called Kokara Shrine in the back of the cityscape of Tomonoura, that is, on the north side of the port. When Masanori Fukushima built the castle town of Tsuganoura, he gathered blacksmiths around here to build a blacksmith town. It is said that the origin of this shrine was enshrined by the people who run blacksmiths as Ujigami. Since this shrine has such a saying, the "Fuigo Festival", which uses "Fuigo", which is a blower that sends wind to fire during blacksmithing, is an annual festival of this shrine.

    It is a small shrine on the north side of the old town of Tomonoura.

     I was taking a walk in Tomonoura. Temples and shrines were lined up at the foot of the mountain on the west side of the port. There was a small shrine called Kokara Shrine around the torii gate in front of a large shrine called Numana Shrine. There was an explanation in front of the shrine. It seems that this Kokarasu Shrine began with the enshrinment of blacksmiths as Ujigami in the late Muromachi period. It is also an old battlefield during the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The history of Tsurunoura, which has prospered as a port town since ancient times, is also here ...

    It is wide.

    Original Text

    Although there are not many kinds of shrine facilities and it is simple, the site is quite wide 々. I got the impression that it was wide. However, in the back of the shrine, there is an area where torii gates and other things gather, and I felt that it was a shrine with a rare atmosphere and shape.

     It is a shrine that suggests that swordsmiths were gathering here. Tenme Ikkajin, the deity of worship, is a god that is often seen in iron mills in the Sanin region and sword production areas in various places, and is exactly the blacksmith itself. But the god of the gods is not very well understood. However, when you enter from the torii gate on the front, you will see the shrine, when you enter from the torii gate on the back, you will see Kogarasu Daimyojin, and Mr. Inari is also solicited in the precincts, which satisfies the faith of many swordsmiths gathered here. It can be seen that it was It seems. It is also an old battlefield related to Takauji Ashikaga.
