Hattatsu Mairi

The Hattatsu Mairi is one of the rituals performed most often at Sumiyoshi Taisha. Its regular practice is believed to bring success in business. The ritual is performed by visiting four massha, or subsidiary shrines, on the first dragon day of the month, as determined by the 12-day week of the ancient Chinese calendar. The name derives from a play on words: hattatsu means “first dragon,” but when written with different characters, it means “develop” or “grow.”

To perform the Hattatsu Mairi, visitors must make an offering and pray at each massha in the following order: Tanekashi-sha, Nankun-sha, Asazawa-sha, and Ōtoshi-sha. Completion of the Hattatsu Mairi every month for four years—48 consecutive months—is said to ensure a lifetime’s worth of prosperity. This belief is based on another auspicious pun: the characters for shijū hattatsu, or “48 dragons,” have the same pronunciation as the characters that mean “to develop from start to finish.”

Vendors set up stalls within the Sumiyoshi Taisha grounds on Hattatsu Mairi days, creating a festive atmosphere for visitors. As the first dragon day falls on a different date each month, the schedule is posted in advance on this website.

初辰敬拜

「初辰敬拜」是住吉大社最常舉行的儀式之一。人們認為定期舉行這種儀式有利於生意興隆，事業成功。初辰敬拜採用中國十二生肖曆法，需要在每個月的初辰（即第一個辰日）參拜住吉大社的4座小神社。這個儀式的名字從諧音遊戲而來，初辰在日語中與「成長、發達」同音。

參加初辰敬拜儀式時，參拜者需要按照種貸社、楠珺社、淺澤社、大歲社的順序依次前往供奉和祈禱。據說如果4年內每個月都做初辰敬拜，連續48個月不間斷，就能榮耀一生。這個信念來自「四十八辰」在日語中有著吉祥的發音，聽起來就跟「始終發達」一樣。

每逢初辰敬拜，住吉大社境內擺滿攤位，氣氛宛如節日。由於初辰之日每月不同，敬請留意大社官網上公佈的時間。
