To become happy, the pilgrim has to stand in front of the statue and adjust his hands in prayer

This is a pun with shiwa awase - shiawase.

Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) was fond of 角筈 Tsunohazu:


角筈熊野十二社 Tsunohazu Kumano Junisha 12 Shrines

- quote
Tsunohazumura 角筈村 熊野十二所権現社 Tsunohazu village
Jūnisho Gongen no Yashiro Shrine in Nishi-Shinjuku 2-chōme, Shinjuku Ward
is said to have been established by a certain 鈴木九郎 Suzuki Kurō,
who arrived in the area from Kishū Kumano (in modern Wakayama Prefecture) during Ōei era (1394-1428).
The shrine was said to house all the Gongen (the manifestations of the Buddha)
that could be found at the 12 locations of the Kumano Sanzan
(consisting of the three major shrines of Kumano Hongu Taisha,
Kumano Hayatama Taisha and Kumano Nachi Taisha).
In Edo times, teashops and restaurants were built in the vicinity of the shrine,
and the area became known as one of the great scenic spots on the city's outskirts.
