Edo Tegaki Chochin (Hand-painted paper lantern)
'Tori no Ichi Fair' (酉の市) is a famous annual event in November. This event has continued to today since the Edo period. Many people come the 'Ootori Shrine' (大鳥神社/鷲神社) to pray for a health, good fortune and good business by buying a bamboo rake, namely Kumade, with an ear of bunch rice as a charm.
I returned my "kumate" which i got last year for 'osame' (納め).
The characters was drawn on the lantern called Edo letters.
Devised and Crafted in putting lines and balancing, so they are easily read from a distance.

There are many Kumade stores, but also many food stands.
