The Edo Period is an origin! With a unique festival in the world "Shineribenten Tatakijizo festival"?

A Shineribenten Tatakijizo festival is the eve performed on June 30 every year at the center of the Uonuma city and Bentendo precinct of Koide (I row, and.) (It's held on June 28 in fiscal year 2025.)
Once's treatment with casual indulgence speaks with "Shineribenten", and is permitted in the year when a man pinches a female arm, speaks to (make, milling) and a lady with "Tatakijizo" and hits a male shoulder, you're deifying.

You're telling that there is origination of this strange festival in a festival of Ueno and Mr. Benten in Shinobazu Pond. There was witticism of verse as "night which is shitai to pinch with the bottom in Benten" in the Edo Period, and there was a custom that a young lady pinches the bottom at night of the day of the first snake at New Year's. A person in old Koide-machi brings the festival back to localness, and it's said that they broadened.

Then, why is a custom of "Tatakijizo" on earth done?
It's in witticism of verse of the Horeki year with "fifteen days when Hosogoshi is hit with a willow" "You can be hit with a porridge cane and spread wife's abdomen." in the Edo Period. You say when that a female lower back is hit with a porridge cane (the tree which was used when boiling porridge on the 15th at New Year's,) from the past "A boy receives." "It becomes safely delivered.", and it's said that there was a custom which enters and hits wife's lower back in the house where a child with a porridge cane met my wife newly. You're saying that this custom was performed nationwide then.
Or this custom of "child prayer" will be the dimension of "Tatakijizo", and I'm inherited and have come today.

More highlights are filling a peculiar Benten dance of the participants who made themselves up and the divine object going out by this festival.
