上賀茂神社 "斎王代御禊"
昨天(五月四日)在上賀茂神社舉辦了齋王祭(斎王代御禊)，做為五月十五賀茂祭(葵祭)的前哨。齋王是指在伊勢神宮和賀茂神社出任巫女的未婚?親王和女王，她們代表日本皇室侍奉天照大神，現在則一般以平民中的未婚女姓代替齋王主祭，稱為齋王代。昨天舉辦的這個神事，就是為葵祭能?順利，由齋王代做為主祭舉行的祈禱儀式:)
齋王代的整個行列都身穿平安時代的裝束，非常壯觀，尤其穿著十二單衣的齋王代，真的非常漂亮喔!!!整個儀式大致分成三個部分：進場、淨手、祭祀。尤其是齋王淨手的部分，小小的河道兩側完全站滿人，個子非常之矮的staff Weng雖然去了，但是以一種非常艱辛的角度和位置勉強拍到的照片，果然還是比不上專業報導呀XDD
馬上就是五月十五號的葵祭了，比齋王祭更大規模的平安衣裳重現的遊行行列會從京都御所出發，經下鴨神社一路走到上賀茂神社喔!!有機會參加的千萬不要錯過京都三大祭典之一的大活動!!

A ceremony is held on May 4th in Kamigamo Shrine. It is a ritual held for praying the Kamo-sai, also known as Hollyhock Festival, going without a hitch on May 15th.
In this ritual, everyone wears in Heian period clothes. The highlight is the officiant. You can see how beautiful her clothes are. The officiant used to be chosen from the princesses. The chosen princess was called "Saioo", and was supposed to devote her whole life to god Amaterasu. Now the Saioo is chosen from the local unmarried girls.
On May 15th there will be a parade from Kyoto Gosho to Kamigamo Shrine, with all the members in Heian period clothes. Kamo-sai is one of the three biggest imperial festivals in Japan and the most important festival in Kamigamo shrine. Let's go together!
