櫛田神社(火渡り神事)火を渡る獅子舞 Shinto Fire-walking Ritual

縁結びの神として信仰を集める富山県射水市･櫛田神社の秋季例大祭の恒例行事。神輿と獅子が地区を一巡後、神社の境内で杉の枝が燃え立つ炎の中を、獅子舞や神輿が駆け抜け、けがれを焼き払います。不動明王信仰に基づく神仏混交のもので、天台山伏によって伝えられたと言われています。火渡り神事の後、本殿と社務所前で獅子舞が舞われます。
Shinto Fire-walking Ritual is the part of the annual fall festival of Kushida Shrine, famous for the god of marriage, matchmaking, in Imizu-city, Toyama.
It is said that this Fire-walking is from the mixture of shintoism and Buddhism based on religious faith in Fudo Myoo, acala naatha in Sanskrit.
After Shinto Fire-walking Ritual, a lion dance is performed in front of a main shrine and a shrine office.
