Tenjin Matsuri 天神祭

Today we are celebrating Tenjin Matsuri 天神祭 which literally means "The Festival of the Heavenly Gods".

The festival honors the deity of scholarship Sugawara Michizane 菅原道真.

He was a scholar, poet, and politician of the Heian period.

He is regarded as an excellent poet, particularly in Kanshi poetry 漢詩 and is today revered in Shinto as the kami 神 of learning.

Many Shinto shrines in Japan are dedicated to him.

Michizane had an exceptional talent in both Kanshi, poetry in Chinese, and Waka, poetry in Japanese.

His primary interest was Kanshi because in those days the immersion in Chinese culture was regarded as a proof of refinement and scholarship.

Since his excellence in Kanshi was well known throughout the Court, Emperor Daigo suggested him to compile his Chinese poetry. And therefore he published Kanke Bunso 菅家文草 and dedicated it to the Emperor in 900.

After his exile he continued to work on Kanshi and compiled them into the Kanke Koshu 菅家後集 it contains 46 Kanshi and was completed sometime before his death in 903.

Tenjin Matsuri is a spectaculair festival celebrated on the 24th and 25th of July in many places around Japan.

One of the places is at Tenmangu Shrine 天満宮 at Kitaku, Osaka.

Tenmangu Shrine was built in 949 by the order of Emperor Murakami. And it's one of the many many shrines dedicated to Sugawara Michizane.

The origin of this festival dates back to 951, two years after the foundation of the shrine. When kamihoko, a portable shrine with a halberd on its top, was released into the river near the shrine and a temporary funeral hall was built at the place where the kamihoko washed ashore.

Local people who worshiped at the shrine rode on boats and welcomed the arrival of the kamihoko, which was said to mark the beginning of the festival.

The first day of the festival begins with the Yoimiya festival to pray for the success of the Hokonagashi ceremony.

It is followed by the actual ceremony in which the sacred halberd is released from the Hokonagashi bridge at the sound of a ryuteki 龍笛 flute.

On the following day the spirit of the Tenjin deity is transferred to a portable shrine called mikoshi 神輿 and paraded around for about 4km from the Tenmangu Shrine to the point of embarkation attended by as many as 3,000 festival participants. Mikoshi is then transferred onto a boat and accompanied by a 100 more river boats. While it moves towards the Naka river to the Okawa river with amazing fireworks overhead.
