Toshimana, attending Gion Matsuri main parade
So good to be back to Kyoto for a short break after 2 years. And on July 17, there was only I place I wanted to be to see Gion Matsuri main parade : Shinmachi. This is also where I watched the parade 2 years ago (see
here)... and the year before, with Maiko & Geiko cheering the participants who were pulling the heavy hoko.
vive le gion matsuri

ReplyDeleteI love your photo blog.
ReplyDeleteWhen you say "good to be back for a short break after two years," are you saying that you no longer live/work in Kyoto?
Yes correct. But I am still following the cultural events such as festivals and hanamachi.
