Dive into the heart of Japan's cultural heritage with our latest book on the Gion Festival, a spectacular event held every July in Kyoto. The Gion Matsuri, one of Japan's most famous festivals, spans the entire month and is a vibrant showcase of tradition, beauty, and community spirit.
The festival originated over a thousand years ago to appease the gods during an epidemic. Today, it captivates locals and tourists alike with its grand parades of beautifully decorated floats called "yamaboko," traditional music, and lively street parties. The highlight is the Yamaboko Junko, held on July 17th and 24th, where massive floats, some reaching 25 meters in height, parade through the city’s historic streets.
Our book delves deep into the festival's rich history, cultural significance, and the meticulous craftsmanship behind the floats. It also offers practical tips for attending, including the best viewing spots and insider advice on local delicacies to try.
