After visiting Ryoanji, I went to Nijojo after lunch. Nijojo Castle is the only castle I visited in this trip. Walking in Nijojo was like reading political history of Tokugawa.
It seems that Kitano-Tenmangu is closed to Nijojo on map, so I walked to Tenmangu from Nijojo. However, two places are much more far apart than I thought.
On the way, I met a group of elementary students following their teachers to chase for a mikoshi (a portable shrine). Again, I let those kids lead my way.
Following those kids, I went to an school near Tenmangu. However they did not go to Tenmangu and returned to school. Was that all for the festival? I wondered.At 3pm, there were only a few people gathering near Tenmangu. The town was very quiet. Moreover, even if there would be a parade, I didn't know where the good location to take photos was. I decided to visit Nishijin first then come back the shrine later.
About 5 minutes from Tenmangu, I dicovered an old man who held a camera with a tripod and walked into a tiny avenue. My instinct told me, "Follow him!"
There was a "camera expo" in the avenue. A lot of old men were holding expensive cameras and lenses. A few of them were even hanging two or three cameras on their necks.
Geishas also came out to the street to wait for the parade. I have never thought I could have chance to take photos of geisha in this trip. Lucky!
The parade group came!
The girl on photo at the left would dance in the following day inside the temple.
The cow was not willing to walk. Adults tried to move the cow. One of kids in red clothes was also dragging the cow.
On the following day, there was a dance of worship inside the inner building of shrine. I pretended to be a friend of parents of those kids to entry the building to watch the ceremony. However, taking photos of the ceremony was not allowed. The movement in religious dance was stiff, but not a bad thing to watch for getting experience.
