Mitarashi Festival 2023 御手洗祭

I went to the Mitarashi Festival at Kitano Tenmangu Shrine.  They also had a bunch of Tanabata Festival decorations up.

Like at Shimogamo Shrine, we walked to the creek and lit candles. The colors of candles have various meanings. Blue candles are used to improve one's artistic ability and sports performance, red candles are used to bring good luck and family happiness, yellow candles are used to improve one's financial fortune and bring good luck and fortune, white candles are used to fulfill one's wishes and find employment, and purple candles are used to ensure one's safety and prolong one's life.

The festival got its start at Shimogamo Shrine, and is where the famous Mitarashi Dango were invented.  The name comes from the place where you perform ritual hand washing before entering the shrine, hence "Hand Washing Festival". The festival itself is to pray for good health and a long life, while you wade through a stream.  I've included pictures from the Shimogamo Mitarashi Festival below as well!
