just some history on kyoto and the origin of the festival 祇園祭 (during july ) The Gion Festival began in the prayer that any pestilence might not occur among the nation. This was the same as the Israeli king Solomon who began festival (in the 7th month (15th day), feast of tabernacles) in Jerusalem just after the completion of the Holy Temple construction, with his prayer that any pestilence might not occur among the nation. Kyoto used to be called 平安京 (Heian-kyo) 平安 means peace. 京 is capital which is where Kyoto comes from, It was the capital of japan for a very long time. Jerusalem also means city of peace in Hebrew, and Jerusalem is also the capitol of israel. Yasaka Shrine Yasaka came from the Hebrew-Aramaic word Yah-sakka, meaning faith in God.
