"Carp Collection/Kayoko Seno"
Today is the Gion Festival's second festival float procession.
The tea ceremony lesson took place just as the construction of the floats for the later festival began.
(Lara looks happy as she looks at the sweets)
I'm pretending to be calm, but inside I'm nervous about how to handle the ``Tsuribako Mizujar'' that has appeared for the first time in a year.
On this day, a "Toryumon" Folding Fan was decorated on the hanging drum.
A carp climbs a steep waterfall and becomes a dragon
Carp is dragon in heavenLara wearing this!
It was the perfect outfit for that day's lesson.
After the lesson, the teacher taught us and we went to the Daimaru Kyoto store, which is close to the SOU・SOU Kyoto store.
All 34 kinds of chimaki from the Gion Festival floats are on display (until today!).
In addition to warding off evil spirits, each one has a different benefit and has its own unique design.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself with Naganuma.

At the end, a Keyan carp appears in front of Kondaya Genbei.
It feels like the atmosphere is different during the day and at night.
There is only one week left of the month-long Gion Festival.
I will enjoy it until the end!

Hello ♪
I ran into you in the morning so it's been a while (^^)
Today I was wandering around hoping to catch a glimpse of the Atomatsuri procession.
For the first festival, we decorate the "Yamabushiyama" which is related to the "Naginataboko" float, and for the second festival, we hang the "Takayama" and the "Koiyama" which is a must-see for Hiroshima Carp fans, at the entrance of our house (^^)
And this year, I took a commemorative photo wearing the Ki-Yan Stuzio Carp Tee in front of "Carp is dragon in heaven" at Kondaya Genbei-san's museum in Mt. Kuronushi (^^)
And, I was able to see the Gion Lion Dance at the Otabisho during the Hanagasa Parasol Procession, and the Asuka Shop Manager performed a warding off evil spirits on me (^^)
I've posted the photos on Instagram, so I'd be happy if you could take a look (^^)

thank you for your comment!
I was very happy to meet you today after such a long time (^^)
As expected! You are very knowledgeable about chimaki! I'm ashamed to say that there were many things I saw for the first time this time, but I enjoyed it very much.
After that today, you all enjoyed the festival.
It seems that you were unable to make it to the lion dance on the 15th, so I was glad to hear that you were able to perform it today without any problems.
Now you can ward off bad luck!
