Traditional events (Kyoto city)

Also called the "Fukakusa Festival," this festival originated when the colors of Empress Shinko were raised, her weapons put in order, her tomb made and her spirit enshrined after her triumphant return. Featured on this day are two sessions of equestrian rites, powerful and acrobatic. There is also a parade of portable shrines accompanied by armor-clad warriors marching through the nearby parish.
