京都 祇園「八朔」2019 : Hassaku in Gion, Kyoto

2019年8月1日、祇園の八朔を撮影いたしました。日常とは異なる、京都の街並みは舞妓さんたちで完成されるのだと改めて感じました。 “Hassaku” is an event held on August 1st in Gion Kobu, the main Hanamachi (entertainment district) in Kyoto. Geiko (geisha) and Maiko (apprentice geisha) visit their master as well as all the ochaya (teahouse) in the district to thank the owners for their patronage and support during the year. An incredible number of photographers line up the streets hoping to catch a photo of them. The police has to be around to control such crowd. 0:00 井上八千代邸前（Inoue Yachiyo House） 4:03
