京都夏の伝統行事『五山送り火2022』が3年ぶりに通常の規模で行われました。点火前は雷雨があり山が雲に隠れてしまなど心配しましたが、点火時刻直前に雨も上がり見事な送り火の一つ「大文字」を見届けることができました。
今回撮影したのは五山の中で最初に点火される「大文字」。 東側にある東山如意ヶ嶽で「大」という文字。
The “Gozan Okuribi 2022,” a traditional summer event in Kyoto, was held on a normal scale for the first time in three years. Before the lighting of the bonfires, there was a thunderstorm and we were worried that the mountains would be hidden by clouds, but just before the ignition time, the rain stopped and we were able to see the “Daimonji”, one of the most beautiful bonfires.
This time I photographed the “Daimonji,” the first of the five mountains to be lit. The character for “Daimonji” is the character for “Dai” on Higasiyamanyoigatake on the east side of the mountain.
Five bonfires are lit atop the large mountains surrounding the city on the north, east, and west sides. Three are in the shape of Chinese characters while the other two are in the shape of a shrine gate and a boat. The fires are enormous and can be seen from almost anywhere in the city.
