The autumn festival at Misu Shrine in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto City, is held on the second Sunday night of October. In the autumn of the previous year, we harvested the reeds with ears from the reeds (葭-yoshi) that grow naturally in the Uji River and made a large torch fire. The large torch, bundled in layers, is about 1.2 metres in diameter, about 4 metres in length, and weighs about 1 ton. The large torch cannot be moved while standing, so it is laid on the side and carried by 32 men.

And to think this is a mere 10 minutes walk from my house is madness. It's so beautiful. ;3;

Fushimi Inari-taisha, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, Japan: Fushimi Inari-taisha is the head shrine of the kami Inari, located in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. The shrine sits at the base of a mountain, also named Inari, which is 233 metres above sea level, and includes trails up the mountain to many smaller shrines which span 4 kilometres and take approximately 2 hours to walk up. It is unclear whether the mountain's name, Inariyama, or the shrine's name came first. Wikipedia
