Camellia Tea Ceremony
@camelliakyoto@mastodon.social  ·  activity timestamp 2 months ago

The Jidai Matsuri (時代祭) is no mere costume parade.
Outfits were meticulously researched and many were recreated using techniques now hundreds of years old.

The festival is a good chance to get up and close to historical clothing spanning a millennium.

The performers are dressed in authentic costumes that cover 1000 years of Kyōto's history, and its most prominent figures.

It takes 5 hours for the parade to weave its way from palace to shrine. The mikoshi, accompanied by military band, come last.

The Jidai Matsuri (時代祭 'Festival of the Ages') is 1 of Kyōto's '3 Great Festivals', along with the Aoi Matsuri (葵祭) in May and the Gion Matsuri (祇園祭) in July.
