Invitation to one of the three
great Kyoto festivals:
Aoi Festival
Aoi Festival Parade
Friday May 15, the last WGM day
What is Aoi festival?
On May 15th, the annual Aoi Matsuri, a traditional festival
popular throughout all of Japan, is held in Kyoto. The name,
"Aoi,"is derived from the leaves of the Aoi plant
(Geraniums).Geraniums decorate the clothing and oxcarts of all
of the festival participants. This symbol can be observed
throughout the kilometer-long parade.
The procession is led by the famous horse-riders of Kamigamo
Shrine and the forerunners called Suo' wearing warrior
costumes from the Edo period. Others are dressed up as court
officers, messengers, and holy maidens.Horses, traditionally
used to console the gods, traditional oxcarts, and large flower
umbrellas also dot the parade
HL7 Japan reserved 100 spectator seats at departing Imperial
Palace, which is bookable at HL7 meeting registration page.
