Festival, a summer tradition, and the relatively new Jidai Matsuri Festival, held in the season of reddish hues.<br \/>Each of these festivals is famous for bringing Kyoto to life, but most people are unaware of their characteristics, history, and origins.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article, we would like to explain the characteristics and history of the \"three major festivals in Kyoto.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This article is relatively concise and is recommended for those who want to get to the point.<br \/>We hope you will learn about the history and then actually participate in the event.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>\u25a0Aoi Matsuri, one of the three major festivals in Kyoto<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, let's look at Kyoto's three major festivals, the Aoi Matsuri.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>\u25cbFeatures<\/h3>\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among Kyoto's festivals, this is the one that retains a dynastic flavor.<br \/>With a history of more than 1,400 years, this festival is rich in antiquity.<br \/>Dressed as a Heian aristocrat, they will go from the Kyoto Imperial Palace to Kamigamo Shrine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>\u25cb \u25cb History<\/h3>\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About 1,400 years ago, in the middle of the 6th century, during the reign of Emperor Kinmyo, a plague epidemic broke out and wind and rain caused the five grains to be unfruitful.<br \/>Therefore, at the order of the emperor (imperial command), Urabe Iyoshi Wakahiko, a worshipper of the great deity of Kamo at that time, divined that it was possessed by the deity Kamo.<br \/>The people prayed for a good harvest by running horses with bells on them on a lucky day in April, and the wind and rain subsided, the five grains grew, and the people enjoyed peace.<br \/>This event is said to be the root of the Aoi Matsuri.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>\u25cb\u25cb Period<\/h3>\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aoi Matsuri (hollyhock festival) is held every year on May 15.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">May 1: Kamo Race Ashisha Ceremony<br \/>The horses will be checked for speed, health, and other conditions of the horses that will run in the Kamo Horse Race on May 5.<br \/>Horses are run to determine their superiority, and the horse combination for the day is decided.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">May 3: Yabusame (horseback archery) ritual<br \/>In this ritual, an archer rides a horse and shoots arrows at three targets made of cedar planks every 100 meters to hit the target.<br \/>The origins of this art form can be traced back to the kishu (mounted archery) that flourished among samurai during the late Heian and Kamakura periods.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">May 4: Misogi-no-Mori-no-Mori (purification ceremony for the line of women under the Saio-dai)<br \/>On an auspicious day in early May, a misogi ceremony is held for the Saio-dai and other female members of the procession.<br \/>Held alternately at Kamigamo Shrine and Shimogamo Shrine each year, this ritual is performed by about 40 women, including the Saio-dai and other female members of the procession, who purify themselves by inserting their hands into the Mitarashi Pond.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">May 5: Walking and shooting ritual<br \/>Arrows are shot at Shimogamo Shrine to pray for festival safety.<br \/>It is believed to have originated as a gratuity ceremony held at court during the Heian period (794-1185).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">May 5, Kamo Horse Race<br \/>Kamigamo horse races are held at Kamigamo Shrine.<br \/>It is said to have originated in 1093, when a horse race was offered to Kamigamo Shrine to pray for a bountiful harvest during the Heian period.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">May 12: Goyin Festival<br \/>This ritual welcomes the divine spirit of the Aoi Matsuri from the Goin Shrine at the western foot of Mount Hiei.<br \/>It will be held at Shimogamo Shrine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">May 15: Aoi Matsuri (hollyhock festival)<br \/>It consists of the rite of the roadside, the rite of the shrine, and the rite of the palace.<br \/>In the rite of roji, the Yamashiro-ji, Saio-ji and female attendants walk from Kenreimon to Kawaramachi Dori and Shimogamo-jinja Shrine in this order.<br \/>The Shashino-no-gi ceremony is performed at both Kamigamo and Shimogamo shrines.<br \/>When the procession arrives at Shimogamo-jinja Shrine, the ritual text is dedicated and the To-Yu is offered.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>\u25cb Location<\/h3>\r\n<p

banishment of the plague and for good health and good fortune.<br \/>This is said to be the origin of the Gion Festival.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>\u25cb\u25cb Period<\/h3>\r\n<p
