Kimono Festival in Kyoto

Recently, a kimono festival was held in Kyoto, Japan. Kimono is a traditional dress from Japan, using only by a woman. Recently, kimono is rarely being used, since the kimono is quite heavy and complicated to be worn.

In kimono festival in Kyoto, many women were dressed like princess.

The festival was started by pageant from Gosho toward emperor castle in center of Kyoto and ended in Kamigamo temple in north of Kyoto.

This festival has purpose to begging to the God for stability of weather and good harvesting.
