A person blowing a large conch shell enters two dragon deities, a male and a female, with straw ropes woven into a spiral shape, and they are doused with water as they proceed. After the dragon gods, the procession is followed by &#8220;kego&#8221; (boys and girls holding up fans with peonies painted on them) and &#8220;fueji ren&#8221; (a group of flute players led by a flute player).<br \/>\nWhen they arrive at the stage in the precincts of Itsukusho-ji Temple, three lions (a male lion with a red mask, a young lion with a black mask, and a male lion with a gold mask) perform a dance accompanied by a dedicatory flute and songs. When the dance is over, the three lions descend from the stage and place a lion on the head of an audience member.<br \/>\nWhen viewing the dragon god up close, you will be splashed with quite a bit of water, so it is recommended that you wear clothes that you don&#8217;t mind getting wet and take precautions against getting wet.\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"57\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/assets\/images\/obj-illust_27.png\" title=\"\" width=\"199\"><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"js-way\"><span class=\"ja\"><span>Event Summary<\/span><\/span><span class=\"en\">Outline<\/span><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Location<\/th>\n<td>\nGenjoji Temple 3-7-27 Omori Higashi, Ota-ku, Tokyo<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Access<\/th>\n<td>\n8 minutes from Keihin Kyuko Omorimachi Station<\/p>\n<div class=\"elem-sec_01 mrg-style_21\">\n<iframe allowfullscreen=\"\" height=\"350\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.co.jp\/maps?output=embed&#038;q=35.570799,139.73753&#038;z=15\" style=\"border:0;\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Holding period<\/th>\n<td>\nSunday, July 10, 2022\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Opening Hours<\/th>\n<td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t13:00\uff5e15:00\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Contact Us<\/th>\n<td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t080-4931-4321\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Related Links<\/th>\n<td>\n<a class=\"link-style_03\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mizudome.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Official Site<\/a> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Holding period 2022.07.10 A traditional art form with a history of about 700 years, praying for rain stoppage A traditional performance of prayer to stop rain, held at Itsukusho-ji Temple in Ota Ward.
