🙏CHIGO-MOCHI🎭

Originally made by Nakamura-rō (中村楼), a teahouse in the grounds of Yasaka-jinja, 'chigo-mochi' (稚児餅) was served to the festival's pages (稚児 'chigo') when they came to pray at the shrine on July 13th. The sweet was thought to offer sacred protection.

Chigo-mochi, a popular sweet during the Gion Matsuri. Chigo-mochi are named after the sacred page that rides on the Naginata-hoko float. The larger floats once all had a sacred page (a young boy), but now only the Naginata-hoko's remains. Chigo-mochi are named after the sacred page that rides on the Naginata-hoko float.

Gion Matsuri, known originally as 'Gion Goryō-e' (祇園御霊会), takes its name from Gion-sha (祇園社), the old name for Yasaka-jinja (八坂神社).

From early in the capital's history the area was home to the plague god 'Gozu Tennō' (牛頭天王 - in Shinto known as 'Susanoo' 須佐之男).

The main hall of Yasaka-jinja, home of the Gion Matsuri. A man walks through the main gate of Yasaka-jinja. Yasaka-jinja's west gate, although not the main entrance to the shrine, is the better known of the gates. So smooth is the finish on the gate that it is said spiders cannot spin their webs, birds are unable to make their nests, and even raindrops cannot settle! Yasaka-jinja's stone torii, before the south gate, is one of the largest in Japan. First created in 1646, it is 9.5m high.

Le #YasakaJinja est une véritable institution à #Kyoto, surtout en été pendant le festival Gion Matsuri. Mais même en hiver, l’atmosphère reste magique, avec ses lanternes aux noms d’entreprises locales et son architecture sublime. Un souvenir inoubliable de mon premier voyage au #Japon.
