Asakusa Shrine Torii Invitation to Shimenawa Dedication

Have you ever seen the shimenawa that hangs over the shrine of Asakusa Shrine?
Shimenawa is strung not only on shrines but also on trees and rocks, and the place is a sacred place where the gods dwell, and it is a boundary or barrier that separates the sacred area from this world, and has the role of protecting it from evil and evil.
At Asakusa Shrine, ropes used to be hung not only on the shrine but also on the torii gates, but in the past few years, it has been canceled for various reasons.

This time, with the cooperation of "Japan Asayui", we have decided to revive the hemp shimenawa at the Asakusa Shrine torii.
We will work together to dedicate and dedicate a 7-meter rope as follows.
We look forward to your participation and heartfelt condolences.
* To everyone who participated in the dedication, we will distribute the hemp that is part of the shimenawa as a commemorative talisman.
