Sanja Matsuri is held on the third weekend of every May at Asakusa Shrine.

==History==
Like many japanese festival, Sanja Matsuri is a religious celebration. It is a weekend-long Shinto festival that is dedicated to the ''kami'' (spirits) of three men. It is believed that two fishermen—brothers named Hinokuma Hamanari and Hinokuma Takenari—found a statuette of the Bodhisattva Kannon caught in a fishing net in the Sumida River on the early morning of March 18, 628.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Guide to Senso Ji's Halls - Komagatado Hall )〕 The third man, a wealthy landlord named Hajino Nakatomo, heard about the discovery, approached the brothers and converted them to Buddhism. The three men then devoted their lives to the Buddhist faith and consecrated the statue in a small temple.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Asakusa Shrine )〕 This temple, now known as the Sensō-ji, currently houses the Kannon statue and is the oldest temple in Tokyo.
The Sanja Matsuri appears to have many forms that date back as early as the 7th century, as well as several names such as "Kannon Matsuri" and "Asakusa Matsuri".〔(【引用サイトリンク】script-title=ja:三社祭とは? )〕 Sanja Matsuri's present day form was established during the Edo Period. In 1649, shogunate Tokugawa Iemitsu commissioned the construction of Asakusa Shrine, a Shinto shrine dedicated to the three ''kami''. The existence of this shrine helped to solidify the festival's importance as well as its current structure and organization.
