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...
