“Ohiichi” － 「お日ひ

市いち

」

One of Aizu’s summer treats are the religious festivals

that has taken place at shrines and temples since long

ago. These festivals are called “Ohiichi,” and are full of

booths like goldish-scooping, kujihiki (lottery), food,

and drinks. In the evening, Bon-Odori dances are held,

and the whole community comes together in these

events that are enjoyable for adults and of course

children as well.

Ohiichi originates from the market that would be held

on the temple or shrine grounds on its “ennichi,” or holy

day. The market back then would be tinged with the

atmosphere of the religious festival, and townspeople

would exchange goods and socialize with each other.

This kind of market has gradually disappeared, but it is

thought that the name “Ohiichi,” which was a byword for

religious festival, carried on from this.

Until 1955, Ohiitachi took place in the period between

Onba-sama (the religious festival of Nanokamachi’s

Chofukuji Temple) on July 1st and Sumiyoshi-sama (the

festival of Sumiyoshi Shrine in Zaimoku-machi) on July

31st. At the time, every individual family made sekihan

(lucky red rice) and kozuyu, and invited guests from

outside town. There was also “Ohiichi-oi,” where young

people went to other towns’ Ohiichi in succession and

had a great deal of fun. Afterwards, areas that carried out

Ohiichi increased, and currently you can enjoy Ohiichi at

various places within the city until early September.
