令和7年5月・山津照神社・武家奴振り・滋賀県米原市・”Buke Yakkoburi”, Maibara, Japan #japanesefestival #japaneseculture #祭り
令和7年5月5日、滋賀県米原市能登瀬の山津照神社では、毎年春の例祭に「武家奴振り」が行われました。これは、様式化された非常に珍しい動きの行列です。江戸時代には、山津照神社境内の青木神社から祈祷札を京都御所へ奉納する「奴振り」の行列が行われていました。「武家奴振り」は明治時代に途絶えましたが, 1973年に「能登瀬奴保存会」によって復活し、現在では毎年5月の山津照神社春例大祭で行われています。
On May 5th 2025, Yamatsuteru Shrine in Notose, Maibara City was the venue for the “Buke Yakkofuri” Procession, a ritual with very unusual, stylized movements. During the Edo period, processions of “Yakkoburi” (servants of samurai) took place, in which prayer tablets from Aoki Shrine (located within the grounds of Yamatsuteru Shrine) were transported and offered to the Kyoto Imperial Palace. “Buke Yakkoburi” processions were discontinued during the Meiji period, but were revived in 1973 by the “Notose Yakko Preservation Society”, and is now performed every May during Yamatsuteru Shrine’s Spring Festival.
