mercedo's Journal: Gion Festival

We are going to have Gion Festival from 14th to 16th of July. So I plan to visit the festival with her on 15th of July. Those dates coincide the belief that the dead of our ancesters came home to visit their offsprings during these days. I don't know about the belief of samsara -reincanation, just I am sure the sound of drums reminds me the spirit of our ancesters well. When we hear the sound of it, we welcome summer really.
