A visit to a shrine - A visit to a shrine

Japanese: 抜参り - ぬけまいり

A form of pilgrimage to Ise in the early modern period. It was first seen in the entry for March 14, 1650 (Keian 3) in the Kan'yōki. In the early modern period, pilgrimages to Ise without the permission of village officials were called nukimairi, but gradually the term came to refer to pilgrimages by servants or children without the permission of their masters or parents. In addition to the pilgrimages in 1650 (Keian 3), the Okame pilgrimages of 1705 (Hoei 2) and 1771 (Meiwa 8) were also sometimes called nukimairi. From the mid-early modern period onwards, it became popular to believe that masters who prevented pilgrimages were being punished by the gods, and so it gradually came to be tolerated.

近世の伊勢参りの一形態。初見は《寛明日記》の慶安3年(1650)3月14日の条。近世初期には村役人の許可を得ない伊勢参宮を抜参りと呼んでいたが，しだいに主人や親などの許可を得ずに奉公人や子どもなどが参宮することを呼ぶようになった。また慶安3年のほか，1705年(宝永2)，71年(明和8)のお蔭参りも抜参りと呼ばれることがあった。近世中期以降になると，抜参りを阻止した主人などが神罰を受けたなどということが信ぜられ，しだいに黙認されるようになった。
