Kiyomizu temple Festival, "Seiryu-e" (Blue Dragon Dance)

"Seiryu-e" is very famous annual festival at Kiyomizu temple in Spring and Autumn.


Very lucky, I could record this video when I'was guiding the tourists at Kiyomizu temple in this Spring.




Seiryu, a dragon, is said to drink the waterfall in Kiyomizu Temple.



Colorful parade of the blue dragon with people in traditional costume.
So spiritual and authentic mood...
Just join this festival in coming September and purify your body through powerful dragon dancing!
