Origins and History of Izumi Danjiri Festival

The Izumi Danjiri Festival is a general name for autumn festivals passed down across Izumi City.

Each district has its own tutelary shrine and union, and the forms of danjiri processions and shrine entries vary from place to place.

Changes in the festival’s form reflect local reorganizations and ties to shrines. For example, Teradacho joined the Goso Union in 2002, and a commemorative procession was held in 2006 following the restoration of Blackbird Tenmangu Tenjin Shrine.
