「時代祭の前の宣状祭」

「時代祭の前の宣状祭」
来週10月22日（木）京都の三大祭の一つ時代祭りがあります。約2000人の行列が都を練り歩きます。
本日、平安神宮で祭りの成功を願って式典が行われました。青空と澄んだ空気、神様の前で演奏する”雅楽”を聞きながら
式典。日本人であることを誇りに思いました。
Next Thursday, the 22nd of October, Kyoto celebrates the Jidai Matsuri, one of Kyoto's renowned three great festivals.
Around 2.000 people participate in this historical parade.
We held a ceremony at the Heian Shrine to pray for the success of this year's Jidai Matsuri. Under the blue sky and in the clean air, we listened to Japanese traditional court music being performed in front of the sacred altar.
I felt proud of being Japanese.
I (the Kancho) will also participate, dressed up as a Samurai of the Muromachi period, riding on a horse.
