鴨長明が方丈記を完成して８００年記念の資料展（下鴨神社）ようやく見てきました（すぐご近所なのにね）。
興味深い資料が沢山展示してありましたが、私が一番凄いなあ！　と思ったのは、御蔭祭りの様子を描いた屏風絵が今私たちが見る御蔭祭りとまったく同じだったことです。当然と言えば当然かも知れませんが、感動してしまいました。

I finally went to see the exhibition in commemoration of the 800th anniversary of completion of Houjyouki by Kamo no Chomei held in Shimogamo Shrine, which is located quite near my house.　I enjoyed seeing various kinds of displays, among which a painting of the Mitarashi Matsuri festival (in Japanese) on a folded screen was the most impressive to me.　For, it shows exactly the same scene of the festival as we see today, which might be something well expected.　Still, the fact that the festival we are familiar with today was already painted on the screen so many years ago was quite striking.
