2014.05.15葵祭
五月初齋王代的介紹文中有預告15日的葵祭，有沒有人剛好有去看呢?今天分享的是當天休假的staff Ko拍的照片喔~
葵祭正式名稱為賀茂祭，是京都的三大祭典之一。由來已久，在平安時代，貴族間提起「祭り」這個字，就是直指賀茂祭。最初是為了祈求五穀豐收而舉辦，由宮廷所主導，整體氛圍和民間祭典祇園祭非常不同對吧!!就算是在現代，也一樣維持莊嚴神聖的路線。葵祭不是為了慶祝，而是祈福。
現行的儀式包含路頭之儀和社頭之儀。路頭之儀就是廣為人知的葵祭遊行，或?繞境，身穿平安時代貴族官人服飾的遊行隊伍，從京都御所出發，經由下鴨神社到上賀茂神社，在兩個神社中舉行社頭之儀，進行祈禱和奉納。
整個隊伍都像是從?史中走出來一樣，非常有看頭!
對隊伍組成有興趣的人，葵祭的官網(http://www.kyokanko.or.jp/aoi/index.html )有介紹，看得懂日文的話可以看一下喔!
另外，因為總是在即將進入梅雨季前的五月中旬舉辦，?年的葵祭其實都很常遇到下雨，今年也毫無懸念地頂著甘霖?著雨水進行了呢XD
看到這麼古風遊行隊伍中出現便利商店的塑膠傘，真的很有趣(笑

2014.05.15 Kamo-sai
In the post about "Saioo," we had mentioned about the coming-soon Aoi -sai Festival. Is there anybody happened to be there? We would like to share some photos on that day today!
Aoi-sai has a formal name as "Kamo-sai." This is one of the biggest three festival held in Kyoto and had a long history. Kamo-sai was first held for pray for good harvest. Different from the well-known Gion-matsuri, which was for civilians, Kamo-sai was been in charge of the royal court of Heian period. Even in today it has maintained a solemn setting. This festival is not for celebration but for praying for blessing.
The ceremony is divided into two parts. One is the parade, and the other is the ritual held in both two Kamo shrines through which the parade passes. The parade is composed of members in Heian period clothes. As you can see, it is just like all these people are walking out of the history!
For the festival is always held in the middle of May when it is really easy to rain, this year the parade was also walk in rain, without surprise lol
Don't you agree it is really interesting seeing such an ancient clothes with plastic umbrella from convenient stores?
