Kyotos 1st Aoi Festival of Reiwa era evokes peace and elegance

KYOTO--A parade of people in colorful court attire put the crowd here on May 15 in the spirit to celebrate the first Aoi Festival of the Reiwa Era. Rika Ono is a descendant of samurai warriors, but playing the role of Saio-dai, the ancient event's heroine, still brought on the butterflies. As the very first person to play Saio-dai in Reiwa, I tried to look dignified and wonderful in the eyes of the spectators, said the 23-year-old, who appeared as the ancient court lady clothed in a juni-hitoe layered kimono, carried on a float called an oyoyo.
