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
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.
すごく貴重なカラー映像ですね。
気になったのですが、音源も当時のママのものですか??
