Les beautés du Hanamachi sont de sortie !

Le 1er août, laville de Kyoto célèbre Hassaku, une cérémonie multi-centenairequi met à l'honneur les maiko du quartier de Gion. À cetteoccasion, maiko et geisha font le tour du Hanamachipour remercier tous les commerçants qui les ont accueillies aucours de l'année. Un festival sous le signe de la gratitude quianime en réalité plus d'un quartier de l'ancienne capitale !

 

The Hassaku celebrations are born in a difficult context . Ravaged by the plague and typhoons, the city of Kyoto is at its worst and its inhabitants are struggling to keep faith in the future.

 

With its songs and its offerings, the festivities mark the occasion to protect the city spiritually. An event that thus crystallizes the hopes of an entire people who hope for a better future with the coming of the new moon.

From the little Tasumi bridge to the heart of the Hanamachi , dozens of geisha line up in front of restaurants and small businesses in the neighborhood to thank the people who have helped them during the year.

From teachers to tea house owners to kimono masters, all receive warm messages of recognition from the artists.

Festivities over several weeks

 

The maiko aren't the only ones parading through the streets of Kyoto for the Hassaku festivities ! A festive period for the whole city, the festival actually runs from August 1 to mid-September. And many parades enliven the other districts of the former capital.

 

From the wanderings of the mikoshi ( portable altar) carried exclusively by women in Kyoto, to the lion dance performed for more than an hour to bring good luck to the entire city, Hassaku is therefore the event not to be missed if you are passing through Kyoto during the summer season.
