Kitano Festival: Shikosai & Kankosai at Kitano Tenmangu Shrine

Five days in Kyoto between October 1st and 5th of every year bring the full pomp and circumstance of Kitano Tenmangu’s grand autumn festival. Legends date the origin back to year 987, when Emperor Ichijo sent an imperial envoy to conduct the Kitano Festival. At that time, it was one of Kyoto’s major festivals, but the grand procession was suspended during the Onin War (1467-1477). Later, in the Meiji period (1868-1912), it was revived at the request of parishioners and has since been passed down as the Zuiki Festival procession, held in gratitude for the autumn harvest.
