Iwato Yama – The Stone Door Float #gionmatsuri #japaneseculture #historyandculture #japan #kyoto
*”The Stone Door Float” at Kyoto’s Gion Matsuri brings an ancient Japanese myth to life — the moment the Sun Goddess Amaterasu was lured from her cave, returning light to the world. 🌞✨
This incredible float depicts the scene from Japan’s oldest texts, the Kojiki and Nihon-shoki, and is just one of the many stories you’ll find at this festival.
