Temple staff is seen performing some final cleaning outside the main gate of Shimogamo Jinja on the day of the Aoi Matsuri (葵祭), a major festival held every year on May 15th in Kyoto, Japan. The festival’s main attraction is a large parade, in which more than 500 people dressed in Heian Period (794-1185) costumes walk from Kyoto Imperial Palace to Shimogamo and Kamigamo Shrines.
Shot with Fujifilm X-E2 and Fujinon XF 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 lens. Edited in Lightroom 5.7.
