When it comes to summer in Kyoto, the traditional event of “Gozan no Okuuribi” is famous.
\nThis year, due to the impact of the new coronavirus measures, the scale will be reduced significantly.<\/p>\n
The five bonfires fired with “capital letters” on Higashiyama Nyoigatake, “Myhoho” on Matsugasaki Nishiyama and Higashiyama, “Funagata” on Nishigamo Funayama, “Left capital letters” on Daikitayama, and “Toriigata” on Saga Toriimoto Mandalayama.
\nSince there are 1 to 6 ignition positions this year, it seems that the letters and shapes cannot be seen from the city.<\/p>\n
“Capital letters” are ignited at a total of 6 locations, including the center, apex, and ends of the “large letter.\u201d
\nThe “Torii shape” has torches installed at 108 places every year, but this year only two positions are introduced.
\n“Left capital letter” is the ignition at the center of the “large letter.\u201d
\nThe “boat shape” is one ignition point.
\nBoth the “strange” and “law” ignite only the central part.<\/p>\n
Ignition time is undecided.<\/p>\n
Gozan’s bonfire is not a light-up event, but to see off the spirits of the ancestors who welcomed Obon.
\nThere were always more than 20,000 people going out, but this year I want them to work together at home as much as possible.<\/p>\n
