Event summary
Highlights
- Purchasing lucky rakes for good fortune
The Asakusa Tori-no-ichi Fair is an annual market-style event in Asakusa, known for its tradition of selling lucky rakes. It is not a single-day event but rather unfolds in multiple parts during November. The source indicates these parts include events around mid-November, late November, and specifically between November 7 and November 19.
Historically, Tori-no-ichi fairs are held on "Rooster Days" (Tori no Hi) in November according to the old Japanese calendar, which typically results in multiple occurrences within the month. While the fair spans various dates, the central activity remains the acquisition of decorative rakes, which are believed to sweep in good fortune for the coming year.
