history[change | change source]
It seems that in the past it was held every month, but Engishiki stipulates that it should be held on the 11th of June and December, and it was held at the Imperial Court and at Ise Shrine.
On the morning of the 11th day, Department of Divinities at the Imperial Court distributed offerings (hanpei) to the 304 deities of Kansai region [1] . In the evening, a ceremony called "jinkonjiki" was held at the Shinkaden Hall of Chukain Temple, in which the emperor and the gods ate grains from the previous year (old grains) [1] .
After that, handicraft offerings were only practiced at Ise Shrine, and during Muromachi period handicraft offerings were abolished due to events such as Ōnin War, but were revived after Meiji period . Currently, many shrines across the country hold monthly festivals on specific days each month.
