八坂神社の祇園祭は京都で最も有名な祭りで、毎年７月１日から１か月間にわたって行われます。始まりは、９世紀に町中に広がった疫病の原因と考えられた悪霊を鎮め、追い払うためと考えられています。
美しく飾られた３０以上の山鉾が町中を練り歩き、数種類の山鉾の上段ではお囃子が演奏されます。７月間近のこの時期、祇園囃子を練習する音を聞くと、京都の人々は夏の到来を感じるのです。
今年の祇園祭には、簡単・綺麗に一人で着ることのできるセパレナ浴衣を着て参加されてみてはいかがでしょうか？
The most famous festival in Kyoto, Gion Matsuri,is held at Yasaka Shrine for one month every year,biginning from 1/July.The festival organated to calm and exorcise evil spirits responsible for spreading an epidemic in the 9th century.
