Top 100 Annual Events of Toyamaとやまの年中行事百選
About this collection
The "Top 100 Annual Events of Toyama" is one of the "Top 100 Cultural Properties of Toyama" projects undertaken by the Toyama Prefectural Board of Education starting in fiscal year 2004. Following the selections of "Dozo (Earthen Warehouses)" in 2004, "Shishimai (Lion Dance)" in 2005, and "Festivals" in 2006, this 2007 edition focuses on annual events. The main theme is the selection of annual events closely tied to the lifestyle and climate of Toyama.
Annual events in Toyama are passed down in various forms influenced by natural conditions such as climate and topography, as well as differences in industry. Among these, this selection targets events that do not involve folk performing arts or competitions.
Characteristics of Toyama's annual events include: 1. Many events related to Tenjin faith; 2. Events connected to the medicine-selling and pharmaceutical industries are preserved; 3. Many events remain related to Jodo Shinshu Buddhism, such as Ho-onko, Mikage-sama, and Taishi faith; 4. Many events worship water deities; 5. Many events worship wind deities.
There are many impressive events characteristic of the Hokuriku region, including those related to Tateyama faith and events involving large fires, making this selection a content that appeals Toyama's charm nationwide.
