The more than 1000 years old historical procession held in July 1955 in Kyoto (read wikipedia!). I have witnessed several of these festivals with its rich pageantry when I lived in Japan from 1955-60

    気になったのですが、音源も当時のママのものですか??

  • アラスカ皮革店か~、もうないなぁ!

  • Thank you for sharing such a rare material. We can see how little Gion Matsuri has changed in last 55 years. But they had still carried kakiyama platforms on shoulders - now they roll them on small hidden wheels and pick them up at turns.

  • Domoarigatou gozaimasu Michael san. Thank you so very much,
