The Gion Festival in Kyoto, designated as an Intangible Cultural Heritage by the UNESCO, is one of the most important Japanese festivals.
A highlight of the festival is the magnificent parade of decorated floats known as the Yamahoko Junkō.
Amongst these, the Taka-yama float boasts a long history of participating in the parade that dates back to the 15th century.
However, the float has been absent from the festival since 1826, when a great storm damaged its decorations. The situation was further worsened by a fire that destroyed most parts of the float in 1864.
In recent years, there has been a movement to revive the Taka-yama float - a long-cherished wish of the townspeople.
Finally, the Taka-yama float is due to return to the Gion Festival in July 2022 for the first time in 200 years.
Besides reporting on the progress of its reconstruction and showcasing its return in a virtual Yamohoko parade, this event also intends to expand the circle of Takayama supporters and raise the momentum for its long-anticipated return to the Gion Festival.
*The event will be held in Japanese.
