Explanation
Yui Big Drum Festival, O-Taiko Matsuri お太鼓祭り
豊積神社お太鼓祭り
Shrine Toyozumi Jinja 豊積神社
The enshrined deity is Konohana Sakuyahime no Mikoto.
Opinion about its foundation is divided, but the information board in the precinct explains that it originally enshrined Toyoukehime, the deity of rich harvest, during the 7th century, but according to popularization of Asama worship (worship of the volcano god), the chief priest received the oracle in 791 and it began to enshrine Konohana Sakuyahime no Mikoto.
In another historical record, it is written that the shrine was founded in 791. In either case, the shrine was listed on Engishiki (codes and procedures on national rites and prayers) in the Heian period (794-1192) as a shrine to worship Asama no Okami and was also called Toyozumi no Asama no Daimyojin.
Otaiko Matsuri Festival held for three days from the New Year’s Day, originates in the old episode that Saka no ue Tamuramaro dropped in at this shrine on his way back from the conquering battles with the Emishi and had a feast to thank the god for his victory.
