U M E H A : Distracted Beauty
The Plum Blossom Festival held at Kitano Tenmangu Shrine every February honors the memory of the deified patron saint of literature, Sugawara Michizane. Celebrating the end of winter and the coming spring, an outdoor tea ceremony is held by the maiko and geiko of the Kamishichiken district. Visitors stoll through thousands of plum trees, indulge in delicious festival foods and search for hidden treasure at the monthly temple flea market.
This is an old image from last year's Plum Blossom Festival.
