history[change | change source]
It seems that in the past it was held every month, but the 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, the Shinto priests at the Imperial Court distributed offerings (hanpei) to the 304 deities of the Kinai 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 the Muromachi period, handicraft offerings were abolished due to events such as the Onin War, but were revived after the Meiji period . Currently, many shrines across the country hold monthly festivals on specific days each month.
