Shrine Three: Asazawa-sha

Asazawa-sha is the third stop in the Hattatsu Mairi. It is located on what was once a large, marshy pond—Asazawa means “shallow marsh.” The shrine is dedicated to the water goddess Ichikishimahime no Mikoto. This guardian deity of beauty and performing arts is especially popular with female actors, dancers, musicians, and other performing artists seeking greater success.

Every May, rabbit-ear irises bloom in the pond that surrounds the shrine. The purple flowers have attracted visitors since ancient times; they are described in the eighth-century Man’yōshū, the oldest extant collection of Japanese poetry. The flowers were commonly used to make dye.

Asazawa-sha is open to Hattatsu Mairi practitioners from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The offering for the rite is included in the offering made at Ōtoshi-sha.

淺澤社

淺澤社是「初辰敬拜」的第三站，參拜者在這裡祈求演藝精進和女性守護。它所處的位置曾經是一片較大的沼澤濕地，社名「淺澤」，就是「淺水沼澤」的意思。神社供奉著水神「市杵島姬命」，這位美麗和表演藝術的守護神非常受女性歡迎，特別是演員、舞者、音樂家等追求更大成功的表演藝術家。

每年5月，燕子花在神社周圍的池塘裡爭相開放。這些紫色的花朵自古就吸引著遊人，現存最古老的日本詩歌集——編撰於8世紀的《萬葉集》中也有詠頌它的片段。除此之外，燕子花還會被用來製成染料。
