Aoi festival in Kyoto amid coronavirus pandemic

Aoi festival, one of the three largest festivals in Kyoto, takes place at Shimogamo Shrine on May 15, 2020, with only a ritual being held in private. The festival's main event -- a procession in which about 500 people dressed in traditional attire from the Heian Period (794-1185) -- was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
