お祭りの話を聞いた。なにか偏見が私の中にあって、祭りを楽しむ人は根っからのお祭り好きで、子供の頃からお祭りに馴染んでいると思っていたが、そうではなくて地域において大人になってから繋がりができ、それぞれ自分の繋がりを通して祭りに関わっていることを聞いて、自分なりの祭りや地域との繋がりで良いことがわかった。そんな話を聞いていたら、大阪のだんじり祭りでステーキ串とケバブを楽しんでいる娘の写真が届いた。それなりにみんな楽しんでいるんだな

しかし同時に、祭りの日は忌食という風習があることも教えてもらった。八十八ケ所巡りなどでもされるとのことだ。神道は宗教色が薄い感じがするが、信仰は存在する。風習は受け継がれ、そうやって次の世代と地域に残っていくのだと思った。残すべきか、残ってくのか、はわからないが、それは文化だ、合理性とは別の価値観の話。しかし、なくなってしまうのは寂しい気がする。
I heard someone talking about a local festival. I realized that I had some kind of prejudice in my mind. I had assumed that people who enjoy festivals were passionate festival lovers by nature and had been familiar with them since childhood. But that was not necessarily the case. I learned that people often build connections within their communities as adults and become involved in festivals through their own networks. It made me realize that it was fine to have my own way of connecting with festivals and the local community.
While I was listening to this story, I received a photo of my daughter enjoying a steak skewer and a kebab at the Danjiri Festival in Osaka. I guess everyone is enjoying themselves in their own way.

At the same time, I was also told about a custom of observing dietary restrictions on festival days. Apparently, a similar custom is practiced during pilgrimages to the Eighty-Eight Temples of Shikoku.
Shinto seems to have a relatively subtle religious presence, but faith is still there. Customs are passed down, and I think this is how they remain within communities and are carried on to the next generation.
I don’t know whether these customs should be preserved or whether they will simply continue to survive on their own. But they are part of our culture, something that has value beyond rationality or practicality. Still, I feel that it would be sad if they disappeared completely.
