【2024祇園祭】「動く美術館」と評される祇園祭の山鉾の中で、最古級とされる装飾品の無事を確認する「神面改め」を、船鉾（京都市下京区新町通綾小路下ル）は2024年7月3日に町会所で営んだ。船鉾保存会役員は厳かな所作で、木箱に収めていたご神体の面をかざした。
軍装の神功（じんぐう）皇后ご神体が装う品のうち、室町時代の文安年間に作られた本面と、江戸時代の写し面を船鉾は守り伝えてきた。祇園祭期間以外は、新旧2つの面を町会所外の金庫で厳重に保管している。

Among the floats of the Gion Festival, which are described as "moving art museums," the Funahoko (Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto City, Shinmachi-dori Aya-koji-shita) held a "Shinmen-Aratame" (Divine Mask Check) ceremony to check the safety of the oldest decorations at the town hall on July 3, 2024. With solemn gestures, the members of the Funahoko Preservation Society held up the mask of the deity, which was kept in a wooden box.
Of the items worn by the deity of Empress Jingu in military uniform, the Funahoko has preserved and passed down the original mask made during the Bun'an era of the Muromachi period and a copy from the Edo period. Outside of the Gion Festival period, the two new and old masks are kept securely in a safe outside the town hall.
