Context:
|
Depicted here is a festival celebrating the dredging and hauling of sand for the construction of large shrine and temple buildings. This ceremony has been long associated with Kyoto and the Kamo River, which runs through the center of the city. Note the large effigies of a shrimp and a mushroom mounted on carts making their way through the crowds.
