Publisher's Summary

Tori-no-Ichi (day of the rooster), held at Otori shrines across Japan every November, is a festival where people wish for good fortune and thriving business for the coming year. 毎年11月に各地の鷲神社で行われる酉の市は、翌年の開運招福や商売繁盛を願う祭礼。商売を営む人々にとっては特に重要な祭りです。
十二支にあてはめて日を数えると、「酉の日」は12日ごとに巡ってきます。
酉の日は毎年異なり、11月の酉の日が2回ある年と3回ある年があります。
1回目から順に一の酉、二の酉、三の酉と呼ばれ、三の酉まである年は火事が多いともいわれます。
江戸時代に秋の収穫を祝う農民たちが、鷲大明神に鶏を奉納したのが、酉の市の始まり。現在は、熊手を売る露店が建ち並ぶことで有名です。
「福や金銀をかきこむ」といわれる縁起物の熊手は、毎年、ひとまわり大きなものに買い換えると良いといわれています。
