Gion Festival in Kyoto

A Yamahoko float that had been used for Kyoto's traditional Gion Festival is assembled with ropes in the western Japan city on July 10, 2021. The float procession, the main event of the festival that started earlier in the month, was canceled for the second consecutive year due to the coronavirus pandemic but the float was assembled to help preserve the technique.
