<\/p>\nThe Sumiyoshi Shrine, the oldest of over 2,000 Sumiyoshi Shrines across Japan, has long been revered for ensuring maritime safety and protecting ships. The annual grand festival originated as a tribute of sumo wrestling and horseback archery (yabusame) to give thanks for the safe return of Empress Jingu from Korea.<\/p>\n
The festival begins with a night celebration on the 12th at 4:00 p.m. On the 13th, the main shrine will host rituals starting at 10:00 a.m., including a sumo tournament with 40 local elementary and junior high school students, followed by a yabusame performance around 11:00 a.m. The closing ritual (Nohsai) will be held on the 14th at 10:00 a.m.<\/p>\n
