Inari Festival - Inari Festival

Japanese: 稲荷祭 - いなりまつり

〘Noun〙① A festival at Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in Kyoto. In the past, the official date was the first day of the Rabbit in April. On the middle day of the Horse in the third month of the lunar calendar, five portable shrines bearing the sacred seal are carried to the temporary shrine at Nishikujo in Aburanokoji, Kyoto for the Shinkosai (Inari's Departure), and after staying at the temporary shrine for about 20 days, they return to the main shrine on the first day of the Rabbit in April the following year (or the middle day of the Rabbit if there is a third Rabbit). On the way back from the temporary shrine, the portable shrines entered Toji Temple and received offerings from the temple family. After the Meiji era, due to the calendar reform, the second day of the Horse in April became the Shinkosai, the first day of the Rabbit in May became the Return Festival, and April 9th was designated as the regular festival, making it a festival held only by one shrine. In the early modern period, many beggars would accompany the deity during the Shinto ritual to pick up any coins that had fallen, so it was commonly called the Beggar's Festival. Season: Summer *Izumi Shikibushu (middle of the 11th century), vol. 1 "The Inari Festival was held in a haphazard manner, with rice dumplings of a painful appearance being brought in." ② A festival for Inari Myojin.

Season: Spring *Imakagami (1170), vol. 7 "In villages, there are festivals such as the Inari Festival."

〘名〙① 京都の伏見稲荷大社の祭礼。古くは、四月上卯(う)の日を式日とする。旧暦三月中(なか)の午日(うまのひ)に、神璽をうつした五基の神輿(みこし)が、京都油小路西九条の御旅所に神幸する神幸祭（「稲荷のお出で」）と、御旅所に約二〇日間滞留したのち、翌四月上卯日（三卯あれば中卯日）に本社に還幸する還幸祭（「稲荷のお旅」）とがある。御旅所より還幸のさい、神輿が東寺に入り寺家の神供を受けた。明治以後、改暦により、四月第二午日を神幸祭、五月第一卯日を還幸祭とし、四月九日を例祭と定め、一社限りの祭典となった。なお、近世には、神幸のさい、散銭の落ちたのを拾おうとして乞食が多く付き従ったので、俗に乞食祭といわれた。《季・夏》※和泉式部集（１１Ｃ中）上「いなりまつり見しかたはらなるくるしきさまのちまきなどとりいれて」② 稲荷明神の祭。(イ) 旧暦二月の初午(はつうま)の日に各所で行なわれた。初午。初午祭。《季・春》※今鏡（1170）七「むらといひて、いなりまつりなどいふ祭わたる者の」(ロ) 近世、歌舞伎の下級役者などが中心となって行なった稲荷明神の祭。※歌舞伎・忠臣蔵年中行事（1877）二月「稲荷祭りの心にて、処々へ地口行燈を立てあり」③ 六月二一日に行なう大阪難波の仁徳天皇宮の祭礼で、世に誤って博労稲荷と呼ぶもの。《季・夏》
