Jidai Matsuri......

[Ed]

.....The Festival of Ages.

The Jidai Matsuri is an annual parade in Kyoto which is a living testament to the history of Kyoto.

I have written a small article relating the parade, and even if you don't want to read it, you might like the pictures.

like a time machine going back...the photos were outstanding did you take them?

Hey Stephen,

Yes, the photos are mine, thank you.

The parade is just grand to see, the costumes while reproductions are historically acurate.

 

The only detraction which bothered me were some the participants who walked the horses were dressed modern ie; tennis shoes, ball caps, etc.

This ruined the setting of many of the photos.

 

Overall it was outstanding.
