Sakai Grand Evening Fish Market |
|
|
| A traditional annual event held on July 31.
The origin of the market is said to date back to the Kamakura
Period (1192-1333), when the fishermen in Sakai dedicated
fish to the Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine, praying for safety at
sea and a bumper catch. The selling and buying of fresh fish
with brisk voices can be seen and heard. It is a charming
summer feature of Sakai. |
