Doburoku Festival
The Doburoku Festival at Nagakusa Tenjinsha is a Ritual held as an annual festival, and is designated as a Tangible Folk Cultural Property by Obu City. [1][2] [3]。
The history of the doburoku festival is said to date back to 1494 (Meiō3), when doburoku was brewed from rice donated by the head of the land and offered to the gods, and the sacred sake was then served at an annual festival to the shrine parishioners and visitors.[2](about 990 m2) donated by Fujita Tamibu. In Kanbun5 (1665), brewing was suspended in accordance with the times. However, due to an epidemic and epidemic disease in the village, brewing of doburoku resumed in 1668 (Kanbun 8), and has continued to the present day.[2][3]。This resumption is said to have been spearheaded by Denbei Ichimura Katsuyuki, an officer of the Jicho Meifu at the time.
