Kyoto Festival: Jidai Matsuri [4K]

For more information, check out the Jidai Matsuri page on our website:
www.discoverky...
Considered to be one of the top three festivals in all of Kyoto despite its status as a relatively new tradition, Heian Shrine's Jidai Matsuri (Festival of the Ages) is held on October 22nd from noon each year.
The festival is primarily composed of a two kilometer, five hour long procession of countless volunteers dressed in historical garb representing Japanese cultural history from the Meiji era all the way back to the Enryaku era in the 780’s. Painstakingly recreated and researched, going so far as to even make and dye the fabric using the same techniques as they used a thousand years ago, the procession is akin to watching a living history museum march by. Not only do famous historical figures and princesses make appearance, but warriors, priests, politicians, merchants, and commoners are all represented. With that many characters, the Jidai Matsuri gives a very comprehensive look in to the clothing and appearance of Japanese past.

Japanese history is amazing. The fact that they documented it so well, and treat it with such respect - it's truly inspiring.

Western society is overloaded with burning books, cover ups, demonization, censorship, and so on... just to make money and power. Not even the German have a culture more solid and intact than the Japanese.

[@adorabell4253]

@@chicxulub2947 What? No. Where did you get this idea? Most records all over the world hae been lost due to natural disasters (from which Japan is not excepted) and simply time. A lot of things we write on disintegrate over the centuries, especially if people don't think they are important enough to save. Things like birth records, tax collection, basic court rulings, market transactions, etc. I think the place with the greatest access to these kinds of things is England because the manorial rolls were preserved (though most are inaccessible right now due to the sheer amount of them that we have and that they are mostly in regional storage. We have an incredible amount of information on Italy, the seat of Catholic power, we have tons of stuff on Spain, we're even finding new stuff in Eastern Europe. A lot of stuff from Japan is also semi-legendary and shouldn't be taken as direct records of events.

Kyoto is an incredible city that's full of history, despite having a very western city grid style. You can't go far without seeing a shrine, temple, or other piece of history that's centuries old.

[@Martha-Novalin-]

I thought the same, but I don't think we have such a rich history as Kyoto or Japan at all. But maybe I think that because we don't have this great processions.

[@tepes578]

similar procession in Germany: "Starting with the Wehrmacht marching through the streets of Berlin, Germany accidentally starts a World War."

[@AdropofHanhi]

Well... Germany has a big History with a lot of innovations point and also bad changes for the history of Europe. Not only the 2 world wars. Way back we had also a bright Culture in literature and Music and way back we was the proudest Germanen/Vikings/Nordic folks with strong men and worshipped strong gods. So I think it could be possible to do that but it would take way more time to do, because of the richness in History that we have ^^

We also had to pay for the stamp. I might be the only one from my class still writing my penpal and I've been to Japan 3 times now. I've been taking Japanese (now online with my Japanese class since the pandemic.)

In continental Europe, Salic law prevented women from becoming monarchs.
