"Here comes Kiotoshi, Give me power, Give me bravery, God bless me!" 
                                                                                                   
"Kiyari-song"

.mKamisha-Kiotoshin@-Down Hill                                @Apr.3,4,2004.

Top of the Hill, the 1st of Maemiya is now at the height of rejoice. Youngsters riding on
 the  'Medo‚”eko' are bending their flags.   'Medo‚”eko' is the long colorful decoration stem set on 
the sacred log.@@ Kiyari-singers and trumpet troops gathers here to cheer up the atmosphere.


Keep safe   The 1st of Honmiya is controlled by those who are holding ropes.


Spectators          JR train is passing slowly near Kiotoshisaka. 
Passengers from the windows are also anxious about the huge log.


Snow-Flake      Snow in April is not so unusual. But snow made the sight wrong and 
temperature went down to under zero centigrade. The 4th of Honmiya is fighting against snow. 
We could hardly see  what is going on the Medo‚”eko .  Apr. 4, 2004.


Slide down   The last of the 8 Onbashira, 4th of Maemiya went down the slope very quickly, 
because of wet, dumpy and muddy ground condition.

Kamisha Kiotoshisaka is a cozy triangle surrounded by JR line, Kamikawa river,
 and Miyagawa primary  school. The small mountain which height is about 10
meter and 40 meter long. The slope has the angle about 25degree. Kiotoshi of 
Kamisha is much colorful and gay to compare with that of Shimosha.           
Because when you see the huge logs of Kamisha, they have 'Medo‚”eko' on them. 
'Medo‚”eko' is full of youngsters on.@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
 It reminds me Oiran who wears beautiful decorations on her hair.    Some@@
 people say Shimosha's Kiotoshi is much more dangerous and spectacular, @@
I think both are worth watching.
