Tori-no-Ichi |
The festival Tori no Ichi is held every November to pray for good luck and prosperity in business. This festival, held since the Edo period (1603-1868), is an annual event mainly in the Kanto region. It started as a harvest festival by farmers in villages near Edo (old Tokyo). Later, festivities appeared in Asakusa. Today, the Tori no Ichi held at Asakusa's Otori Shrine is said to be the largest Tori no Ichi in Japan.
