About this event
The Poetry Recitation Ceremony at Yasaka Shrine is an elegant rite in which waka poems composed and dedicated to the shrine are ceremonially read aloud. Performers in formal court dress recite the poems in the traditional slow, melodic style known as Kodo. A refined glimpse into Japan's ancient literary and ceremonial traditions.
