かつてお盆が近づくと焙烙、おがら、ホウズキなどお盆用品を売る市がたち、それが草市の始まりでした。 今では地元商店街の加盟店により100以上の店がたち、各地の物産も月島に集結し、子供から大人まで楽しめる草市となりました。
In the old days, when people began to prepare for a three day Obon Holiday (Buddhist holiday which is told that the soul of the ancestors return to their family), quipments to decorate and greet the souls at home were sold at the temporary Kusaichi Market. Now, Tsukishima Kusaichi Market has become a festive event which does not only sell ritual goods. Over a hundred of delightful booths selling varieties of goods are prepared by the member stores during the period, and everyone from adults to children enjoy the event.
今年の開催は7月9日（土）と10日（日）の１４：００～２０：３０、初日の9日の１３：００からは佃中学校 月島太鼓部によるオープニングイベントがあります。
また、地元商店街では草市に向けて各種説明会、講習会、当日の迷子対応などちゃくちゃくと準備が進んでいます。
昨年の来場者は約３２,０００人とか、きっと今年も大勢いらっしゃることでしょう。 今から楽しみです。
This year, Tsukishima Kusaichi Market is scheduled on July 9th and 10th from 2:00pm to 8:30pm. On the first day of July 9th, there will be a drum performance by Tsukuda Junior High School students from 1pm. Currently, the booth arrangers are preparing and training for the safety and organized operation during the event including lost child care.
Last year, nearly 32,000 people visited the event and maybe this year more.
So, why don't you come and join!
