Atmospheric lighting

This is just one example of how beautiful the lanterns were at Gion Matsuri Festival.

Fantastic night

They were performing a festival music on a festival float illuminated with many lanterns at Gion Matsuri Festival.

A day of the festival

This distinctive lantern display was for Gion Matsuri Festival in Kyoto. Gion Matsuri is one of the most famous festivals in Japan.

By the wayside

I found this beautiful jizoson just around Byodoin Temple. A jizoson is an altar where Jizo [a Buddhist deity] is enshrined.
