この辺りから西向きに空が抜けてる感じが好きなんですよね。
今回は太陽が沈み切ってからでしたが、夕陽の色が残っている時間が良いかな

Statue of En-no-Gyoja at Daigo-ji.
It is said En-no-Gyōja tried to convince Hitokotonushi to build a bridge from Mt Katsuragi to Mt Yoshino (it didn't go well).
On 16th July Shugen-ja devotees from Shōgo-in (聖護院-head temple of Honzan Shugen 本山修験宗) perform a sacred Goma-daki rite (護摩焚き) to dispel evil.

Citywide fires in 1708, 1788 and 1864 led to some floats disappearing forever.
Fortunately for most, treasures could quickly be whisked to safety during such emergencies.
Unlike the priceless decorations, the float frames themselves were relatively easy to rebuild🙌

The Tsuki-boko float decked out in lanterns at eventide.
The float survived the great fire of 1864 and is called a 'Moving Museum'.
It boasts carvings by Hidari Jingorō (左甚五郎 early 17thC?) and paintings created in 1835 by famed artist Maruyama Ōkyo (円山応挙 1733-95), depicting scenes from 'The Tale of Genji' framed in open fans.

14) TAISHI-YAMA (太子山)🪷
Taishi-yama is dedicated to Prince Shōtoku (聖徳太子 572-622, aka Shōtoku Taishi), the great propagator of Buddhism.
This float alone uses a cedar (not the usual pine) as a conduit for the gods.

This morning, I went to the bank and realized that the Gion Festival started yesterday in Kyoto, Japan,. Yes😉 There's an event every day of the Gion Festival from July 1st to 31st!

Old and new chimaki.
Chimaki hung beside the door of our Garden Teahouse.
Small clay bell in the shape of a chimaki charm.
Chimaki, only available during the Gion Matsuri from the float neighbourhood associations.
In Kyōto it is common to see small, broom-like charms hung beside doorways.
Made from miscanthus reeds, the same grass used to create the giant chinowa rings, 'chimaki' (茅巻き) prevent misfortune from entering the home.
They are sold exclusively during the Gion Festival in July.
