Gion Matsuri: Yasaka Shrine Events (Omukae chochin/Hanagasa junko/Kankousai)

[@WorgenGrrl]

It makes me very happy to see the City's traditions are still being carried out in spite of Modernization!

[@discoverkyoto]

Thank you, Alex

[@varoonnone7159]

Everything is so perfect. The clothes are perfectly ironed, the whites are pure white, the reds are deep red, the blacks are deep black. They do it so professionally. Always amazed by japanese refined High Culture

[@laishtondonba162]

Japanese culture is so beautiful. Love those ladies in traditional attires

[@discoverkyoto]

Thank you

[@wernercaspary7159]

A very unique culture with interesting festivals. The Japanese people have been celebrating these festivals for hundreds of years. Cheers to Japan. Greetings from Germany...🍺

[@discoverkyoto]

See you in Kyoto

[@johngray8606]

I notice twenty people gave this video things down, why? It is so beautiful, lovely costumes, also pure Japanese culture, which I've enjoyed while in Japan on holiday staying with friends. Japanese are mostly very polite, people full of respect. Obviously the "thumbs downers" have never experienced this personally. My thanks for sharing this video. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@LucidDream]

My youtube account is from 2006, basically from around the time youtube became a thing. That question is as old as youtube itself. I see people ask that question under so many videos and I have to wonder why, more so, that people keep asking it. Those people are likely never going to answer you or give you their reason why. Best thing to do really is to not pay attention to it, it really doesn't matter at all. It doesn't matter what the video is, there will always be someone to dislike the video. Should just realize this as reality and move on. Just watch the video and enjoy it...leave a comment if you like. But I don't understand why people care about likes or dislikes, when it's out of their control and you'll never get an answer. I always see this question or some comment alluding to it. Like,"I can't believe someone disliked this video!". There are billions of people on the planet, not everyone thinks the same way or likes the same things. Forget about it.

[@discoverkyoto]

Wishing to see you in Kyoto

Miss you Kyoto, such a beautiful and clean city, loved Gion i'll be back someday

[@KikyoSamaLover05]

No words how much I love all of this 😍😍😍❤️

[@MariAmmaSar]

The unique shaking and to and from movements of the mikoshi at 6:45 and onwards during the Kankosai ritual closely resembles the same actions done for the portable shrines for the God Shiva and His Consort Parvathi in Hindu festivals done by Tamils in South India. Aum Tryambakham Yajamahe

Thank you Thank you

[@luigicartei5096]

Per fortuna in Giappone le antiche tradizioni sono ancora molto forti e sono sicuro che lo saranno anche in futuro !!!

[@kingwaterdragon8040]

the tradition is alitle similar to the tradition in Bali at the temple, i hope all people in jepang happy healthy with family

[@doogiehowser78]

. its very important to keep culture and tradition alive , sadly a lot of the worlds cultures have been destroyed by invaders or political reasons , but awesome to see japans culture so strong , probably because they have kept foreign influences out

Was in Kyoto a few days during 2015 Gion Matsuri ... same days as a nice, soaked and windy typhoon ... I was excited to be there for the matsuri but could only follow a few mikoshi while fighting against the wind and the rain :') I wish I could see it again in better conditions !

You are very lucky. Windy days are rare in Kyoto, and strong winds are said to be the patrol of Gods. Please come to Japan again. from Kyoto🌸

Have more children. Your civilisation should not die out. Thank you

[@HAPPYTHELEAF]

Let's hope it can remain so unlike the rest of the developed nations who are loosing their cultures.

[@HAPPYTHELEAF]

@@varoonnone7159 The problem with that, is western government's response to not having too many children is to allow foreigners in, which in turn reproduce and as an invasive species wipe out the indignious one.

[@Makkaru112]

There actually Okiya that allow foreigners to become Geiko. Just much more effort and time needed to be spent. specially when you are on the older side lol.

[@princerschannel7426]

u can go to Tokyo because Kyoto is traditional so no one will accept... especially if we don't speak Japanese

[@emmanuel2333]

Being maiko is 2 years and geiko is 4 years. Geisha is the profession

[@chicxulub2947]

@Jack Snow It's Miko. Not Maiko... They are shrine priestess.

[@chicxulub2947]

​@Jack Snow A Miko is a shrine priestess or shaman. Not a Maiko apprentice Geisha. Theirs jobs consists in keeping the Shinto shrine temples, prepare the ceremonies with dances and songs devoting to a spiritual life.

[@johngray8606]

Hello Howard, I read your reply, you're bang on. My long time friends live mostly in Kanazawa, Kyoto, and Osaka. Because of the "lockdown" I sent these videos to them. They're very grateful, people have to realize that their festivals are steeped in their ancient culture. Sometimes we from the west find this hard to understand, because of "Bushido" which was truly barbaric by western standards. But to the Japanese at that time was normal to them. I thank you again for your wonderful videos. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@山下清-n9z]

Sometimes we from the East find this hard to understand, because of "slavery" which was truly barbaric by Eastern standards. But to the Caucasian at that time was normal to them.

[@varoonnone7159]

Perfect rebuttal I remember someone making fun of Holi movies in India saying they always portrayed men flirting with women and I reminded him of all the horrid romantic comedies on Christmas time They don't even realise their hypocrisy

[@goognamgoognw6637]

they are so lucky to live in a homogeneous society with an identity. This is the core of strength of any civilization. local cultures are what support and give hope to people. Opposed to this, globalism and trying to put everybody in the same mold and mix destroys people and leads entire countries to degeneration and immorality.

herron dance? Maybe its a translation error and they mean Cranes? Cranes making a graceful mating dance and for Asia it is the beautiful Grus japonensis

[@jarosawwieczorek3684]

You should never cut the roots from which it grows. Heritage is the foundation on which we build the future of the nation. I hope that the Japanese will never forget about it, despite the changing reality around us and the so-called progress that pushes towards artificial intelligence at the expense of what is alive and beautiful. 🇯🇵⛩️🙏
