At the time, it was a harvest festival where the local farmers expressed their gratitude to the guardian deity of the village, “Washi Daimyojin”.

お祭りの日に氏子は鷲大明神に鶏を奉納し、終わると奉納された鶏は浅草の浅草寺観音堂前に放したと言われています。
On the day of the festival, the parishioners would offer chickens to the deity Washi Daimyojin, and after the ceremony was over, it is said that the chickens that had been offered would be released in front of the Kannon-do Hall at Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa.

花又村の住民には鶏を食べないという習慣もあったそうです。
