gion matsuri series ep.7

(Update 25-08-30: I realized I made mistakes in my recent color grades hence this is a re-upload)

Happened on July 13th morning, the "chigo"（稚児）or the chosen child from "Naginata-Hoko"（長刀鉾）rode on a white horse and visited Yasaka Shrine（八坂神社）. After the ceremony finished, the chigo's feet cannot touch the ground and must be taken care of by male only, until the main Gion Matsuri parade on July 17th.
I like the white horse. It was so cute and I guessed it liked its handler much and kept nibbling him. The procession with those sharp-sounding sword-like metal scratching Shijo-Dori（四条通）was impressive as well.
