Roof God
Roof God (やねがみ) or roof God (やねがみさま) is a small shrine enshrined on the roof seen in Aichi or Gifu.

Summary
It is installed in the first-floor sunshade roof or under the eaves of the old house and generally I worship Ise Grand Shrine and a patron saint (in Nagoya Atsuta-jingu Shrine) other than Akiha Shrine of the fire prevention and the Tsushima Shinto shrine of means to ward off evil and perform religious service in the local small organization such as the town and the neighborhood association.
Because I enshrine it in the place that is higher than the ground including a sunshade roof and the under the eaves, I came to be called "roof God", but I put the "Akiba" "Four Devas" and an enshrined deity and often call it, and there is the area that "eaves God" merely calls with "God "Shinto shrine "patron saints" of the town" in the town block" elsewhere. There are many companies taken down on the ground by a reason that religious service that I go on a roof and the high place including the under the eaves is dangerous, but often uses the name called "roof God" now because there was it formerly on a roof. I am usually called "roof God" with friendly feeling.
I stay a lot in Nishi-ku that there was little of the war damage damage in Nagoya-shi followed by continue with Nakamura-ku, Naka-ku. In the whole Nagoya-shi 135 companies (as of 2009).
The location confirmation survey by roof God was carried out each in "roof God" (1976) and collection of photographs "なごやの roof God" (1992) of Ritsuji Keshikawa of Hideki Yamaji. It is 221 cities (104 Nishi-ku), but, according to the investigation into mustard river, according to 244 cities (129 Nishi-ku), investigation of the mountainous district, decreases sharply by the survey by Minoru Mori with 135 cities (66 Nishi-ku) in 2009.
Simplification and the abolition of the festival that continued advance by redevelopment by the urbanization and the reduction of the local community, the aging of the people who held a festival centrally, increase of the traffic conventionally, and there is the number in a tendency to decrease.
I am seen in the Aichi Owari, Mikawa district, Mino, Gifu, the Hida district, but put it together with Akiha simple substance or Ise Grand Shrine or a patron saint any place other than Nagoya-shi and is often worshiped whereas Nagoya-shi and neighboring areas worship three companies of Atsuta, Akiha, Tsushima in one main shrine. In addition, there is the case to set it beside Tsushima Shrine of the simple substance, and to enshrine.
Festival
The small organization including the town and the neighborhood association holds the festival in rotating schedule. If there is "Omachi" that one hundred houses are divided into several sets and take care of in a turn when I read an example of Nagoya-shi, several houses which I caught a way in are by turn, and there is "the neighborhood association" taking care of, and the festival unit varies. In addition, in late years there is the case protecting God with one house in the tenement house which there became few of the resident.
For a main festival, it is New Year holidays, monthly festival (moon festival every: on one a month, 15th), Naotake Atsuta festival, Tsushima festival, an autumn festival (local patron saint, festival in the town block), Akiba festival. I arrange the original festival day depending on an area and perform religious service.
I use a ladder in the company and offer a votive offering including vegetables and the fruit, and the God crest of the enshrined deity puts a dyed purple curtain and hangs the lantern which similarly the name of the enshrined deity was written. I may put up a flag in substitution for a lantern.
On a festival day of the enshrined deity, I make the center of a bill and the lantern the enshrined deity of the festival day (by Akiba festival mainly on a label of Akiha Shrine). There is the place to call a Shinto priest at the time of a festival depending on an area (because it is faith of the gods and Buddha mixture, in the case of a festival of Akiha Shrine, a priest and a mountaineering ascetic may serve the substitute of the Shinto priest in place of a Shinto priest).
Because it was dangerous to wear a ladder, I put a stand under the company, and places to offer it on the top, and to do increased recently.
I prepare early in the morning in the morning and touch a piece in the afternoon over 3-4:00.
A turn purchases the offering by oneself and offers it and, in the case of the single reckoning, just takes it to go as hand-me-downs.
When a festival turn is over, I turn the labels that the next turn had the key to box and equipment case with ritualistic implements carelessly.
I lighted a bonfire before in front of a company, but do not perform it now in most towns.
Origin
The document about roof God is poor, and the origin is unknown.
Because the common people were not able to obtain land to install a shrine as for what I have begun to enshrine in the high places such as roofs, it is thought that I might install it under the spatial easy roof and eaves.
In addition, an opinion (the Mr. Takashi Kondo light "roof God in Nagoya-shi and origin") to demand from opinion (Mr. Ritsuji Keshikawa "roof God") and Akiha faith to demand the origin from Tsushima faith (Four Devas faith) is submitted each, but does not often know it without being elucidated about the really mystery.
