昨日8月16日は、京都の夏の夜空を彩る有名な伝統行事「五山送り火(ござんのおくりび)」の日でした🔥
日本では8月にお盆という期間があり、京都の人々はこの時期にご先祖様の霊があの世から私たちの元へ帰ってくると信じています。しばらくの間、家族と一緒に家で過ごした後、再びあの世へ無事に帰れるようにと、祈りを込めて山の送り火に点火するのです🙏✨
ちょうど最近の京都は、例年の厳しい暑さに比べるとだいぶ涼しくなり、過ごしやすくなってきました。夕食後の散歩がてらに、この京都ならではの夏の風物詩を観覧するには絶好の機会でしたね🌙🚶♀️
当校の学生たちも、日本の文化を体験しようと見学に行ってきたようです!後からたくさんの素敵な写真や動画をシェアしてくれました📸
学生の皆さんが、教室での日本語の勉強だけでなく、こうして日本の行事や文化に直接触れて楽しんでくれていることをとても嬉しく思います😊
これから秋に向けて、京都はさらに美しい季節を迎えます。引き続き、みんなでたくさんの思い出を作っていきましょう!🍁
Yesterday, August 16th, was the day of "Gozan Okuribi," a famous traditional event that beautifully illuminates the summer night sky in Kyoto. 🔥
In Japan, there is a period in August called "Obon." People in Kyoto believe that during this time, the spirits of their ancestors return to us from the afterlife. After the spirits have spent some time at home with their families, bonfires are lit on the mountains with prayers to safely guide them back to the other world. 🙏✨
Recently, Kyoto has been much cooler and more comfortable compared to the intense heat we usually experience this time of year. It was a perfect opportunity to go for a stroll after dinner and enjoy this quintessential Kyoto summer tradition! 🌙🚶♀️
It seems our students also went out to watch the fires to experience Japanese culture firsthand! They shared so many wonderful photos and videos with us afterwards. 📸
We are absolutely thrilled to see our students not only studying Japanese in the classroom, but also directly engaging with and enjoying Japanese events and culture like this. 😊
As we transition into autumn, Kyoto will become even more beautiful. Let's continue to make many more wonderful memories together! 🍁
