Description
The Sannō festival is a Shintō ceremony which is still celebrated on alternate years in Tokyo. Sannō is the Shintō god, “Mountain King.” A depiction of this deity was initially incorporated into a a Buddhist procession from Mount Hiei to the emperor in Kyoto. Today the festival travels from the Hie shrine (founded in 1478 and located in the Tokyo city center), 30km to the Imperial palace. The parade features a procession of portable shrines, which were originally viewed by the Shōgun.
