皇居で大嘗宮の地鎮祭　即位関連行事が終了

　皇位継承に伴う伝統儀式「大嘗祭」の舞台となった大嘗宮を撤去した後の地鎮祭が２８日午前、皇居・東御苑で行われた。昨年５月１日に始まった即位関連の儀式や行事はこれで全て終了した。
　地鎮祭には宮内庁幹部や工事関係者計９人が参列。大嘗宮の跡地で、宮中祭祀（さいし）をつかさどる掌典が祝詞を読み上げた後、敷地内の計１０カ所に絹の布などを埋めた。
　大嘗宮は昨年１１月の大嘗祭終了後、東御苑で一般参観が行われ、その後解体された。廃材は大半がバイオマス発電の原料などとして再利用された。今月２１日には廃材の一部を焼却する行事が行われた。（2020/02/28-11:54）

Events and rites related to the enthronement of Japan's Emperor Naruhito on May 1 last year came to an end on Friday.
   On Friday morning, the last such event, the "jichinsai" ceremony, was held at the East Gardens of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo to purify the site which hosted the "Daijokyu" halls built for the "Daijosai" enthronement-related grand thanksgiving rites in November last year.
   The ceremony was participated in by nine people including senior officials of the Imperial Household Agency.
   Silk cloths and other items were buried at 10 spots at the site after a ritualist read a prayer.
   After the Daijosai rites, the halls were shown to the public for a while and then demolished.
