About this listen

 The Aoi Matsuri (Hollyhock Festival) held every year on May 15th is one of the three major festivals of Kyoto alongside the Gion Matsuri and Jidai Matsuri. 毎年5月15日に行われる葵祭は、祇園祭、時代祭と並ぶ京都三大祭りの一つ。世界遺産に登録されている下鴨神社と上賀茂神社の祭礼です。
6世紀に風水害に見舞われた際、神の怒りを鎮めるため、鈴をつけた馬を走らせる祭りを行ったことが葵祭の起源。平安時代には、祭りといえば葵祭のことを指しました。
葵祭の見どころは、平安装束に身を包んだ総勢500人からなる行列。すべての人々が、葵の葉の飾りをつけています。
京都御所を出発した行列は下鴨神社を経て、上賀茂神社へと、約8kmの道のりを練り歩きます。それぞれの神社では舞が奉納され、神馬の引き回しなどの儀式が行われます。
葵祭は、日本でもっとも雅な祭りとして知られています。©2017 KODANSHA　 English
