Kyoto Gion Festival

Kyoto’s famed Gion Festival features dazzling portable shrines and crane dances at Yasaka Shrine, geisha sightings, amazing street food and outstanding people watching.

But its best-known symbols are the 33 floats that are painstakingly constructed, decorated and taken down again each year between July 10 and 24. They vary in shape and size, but the largest weighs in at a whopping 12 tons, their spires reaching up seven stories in the air.

Kyoto’s torrential rains and steamy heat in July make the best of us feel miserable. Before modern science and sanitation, it made people desperately ill. And back in the 9th century, plagues and such were punishment from unhappy spirits. So the Heian emperor ordered a ritual to appease them.

May this be with One by this channel? It was seen, stay here, affair and item.

Current ingredient for sushi  City legend  Scheme theory…

When we can tell you the affair which looks like “it may be with One, ??” and the item of which we think at the angle in our own way, I think NAA.

Mr. state schedules many talks with specialists of the genre again, so don’t also miss it by all means there.

This! May it be with One?

One of the most awaited cultural events of the year in Japan, Kyoto's Gion Matsuri or Gion Festival is a gigantic ritual praying to Japanese deities for good health and wellbeing, specifically freedom from epidemics and other illnesses that were common in the annual summer rains.

Iwatō Yama 岩戸山 – The Stone Door Float

Iwatō Yama depicts three major deities from Japanese history and mythology: Amaterasu Ōmikami, Tajikara No-Mikoto and Izanagi No-Mikoto. Their remarkable tales come from the 8th-century Kojiki and Nihon Shoki. These are Japan’s two oldest texts, which document earliest Japanese history and culture.

The primordial Japanese deity Izanagi No-Mikoto got together with his partner Izanami No-Mikoto to co-create the Japanese islands and Japanese people. The Kojiki tells us that Amaterasu was born from his left eye, similar to the Greek deity Athena emerging from Jupiter’s thigh.
