伊勢神宮 式年遷宮に向け「山口祭」執り行われる 三重 伊勢

20年に1度、社殿を造り替える伊勢神宮式年遷宮向けて、最初の祭典となる「山口」が三重県伊勢市厳か執り行われ、遷宮で使うご用材伐採搬出の安全を祈りました。

式年遷宮は、およそ1300年前から続く伊勢神宮の伝統行事で、20年に一度、社殿を造り替えてご神体移します。

次の遷宮は8年後の令和15年で2日、一連行事で最初となる「山口」が伊勢神宮内宮外宮それぞれ執り行われました。

山口」は、遷宮で使うご用材伐採搬出の安全を祈る祭典で、内宮では、五色のぼり先頭に白い装束まとっ神職や、「物忌」と呼ばれる祭典奉仕する小学生などがつくり、雨のなか傘をさしながら山のふもとにある祭場向かいました。

祭場では、山の入り口にいる供え物をして神職祝詞ささげるともに、物忌の男の子がくわ持って祈る儀式行い一連作業の安全を祈願しました。

参拝訪れた40代の男性は「行列を初めて見ましたが、非常信心深く、文化が引き継がれていることはとても良いことだと思いました」と話していました。

伊勢神宮では2日夜、社殿造営無事祈って最初のご用材伐採する「木本」が行われ、今後さまざま祭典などが続きます。
