Shinsen Kosha (Sacred Food Offering Guild)
A column in white robes and a crowd along the street face each other.
About this photo
Rows of houses line both sides of a street that runs straight ahead. A column of people in white robes stretches from the left foreground into the distance, and in the right foreground, a wall of onlookers in darkish clothes has formed. A crowd gathers at the far end of the street too, with a white sky spreading above.
At today's Jidai Festival, the Shinsen Kosha procession is made up of people whose role is to present the sacred food offerings on the day of the festival, and from here on comes the procession of the deities, the Shinkoretsu. The head of the offerings (mikecho) and the deputy head, in white formal dress, ride on horseback, and members of the guild in suikan robes walk with them.
