Kurama - Heart of Fire
A small village, a ceremony over a thousand years old...

The road lead to northeast, mountains surrond us. The very first time I got here I was just following an idea and some ancient tales. The evening suddenly fall around here, autumn red leaves fade in the dark.

To light the path kagaribi (fires) are lit. To keep evil spirits away taimatsu (pine torches) are held high.
Following the steps of Yuki Myojin's mikoshi we walk.
