Gion Float Festival (Kyoto Japan)

Koi yama

The theme of this float a Chinese legend that if a carp (Koi in Japanese) could swim up ryumon, it would become a dragon. The figure of the carp on this float is quite realistic, vivid, and beautiful, as if a living carp is jumping up the waterfall. The shrine on this float is dedicated to "Susano-o no Mikoto", a powerful deity in Japanese mythology.
