We have only a month left this year.
\n2024 is the year of the dragon.
\nIn terms of the original zodiac sign, 2024 is the year of “Kinoe Tatsu”.
\nSo, What will the year of “Kinoe Tatsu” be like?
\nThe meaning of “Kou” is first place, indicating superiority and also representing a towering large tree.
\n“Tatsu” means the dragon, the only fictional creature among the zodiac.
\nDragons have been worshiped as gods of water and the sea, and it has been said that “if a dragon appears, something auspicious will happen.”
\nThe combination of these two, Koshin, can be said to represent auspiciousness, such as “the bud of success grows and takes shape.”
\nWhy not visit the temples and shrines in Kyoto that are connected to the Year of the Dragon in the new year?<\/p>\n
There is a legend that there is a large pond where the blue dragon lives under the main shrine of Yasaka Shrine.
\nThe pond is currently plastered over and we cannot see it.
\nLegend has it that Yasaka Shrine is the place where the “the blue dragon” that protects the “east” of Kyoto resides, and this pond where the blue dragon lives is said to be the dragon cave.
\nYou can draw the sacred water called “Chikaramizu” that gushes out from the dragon hole on the grounds.
\nIt is recommended to use the power water as purification water. Drinking drinks are sold at Yasaka Shrine.
