Up until the end of the Edo period, it was common to visit the shrine or temple of ujigami or those in the direction of his or her eho (lucky direction) for the year (ehomairi), but after the Meiji period, it became customary to visit a well-known shrine or temple, regardless of the ujigami or eho. |
江戸時代末期までは氏神またはその年の恵方の方角の社寺に詣でること(恵方詣り)が多かったのだが、明治以降では氏神や恵方とは関係なく有名な寺社への参詣が普通になっている。 |
