Tsukuda and Tsukishima, in central Tokyo, are areas that were all sea about 400 years ago. Fishermen from Osaka Prefecture landfilled and created this piece of land. The prayers of those fishermen still live on. The main festival of the Sumiyoshi Shrine is held once every 3 years. The excitement of the boisterous fishermen comes to a peak during the festival. In this episode of Seasoning the Seasons, we look at stories of the pathos surrounding a festival in a downtown Tokyo area.
