宇治の地において天空演出「天の川の出会い」を開催。一年に一度出会う天の川を夜空に描く、壮大な天空の七夕ショーを開催！“一年に一度、願いごとをする”という古くから伝わる七夕の節句の意義や云われを見つめ直し、その伝統を引き継ぎつつ、京都ならではの現代版・七夕まつりとして、京都各地で開催される「京の七夕」と融合して、宇治の風情を醸し出す情緒豊かな「京の七夕 in Uji」を開催いたします。
A sky performance called “Encounter of the Milky Way” will be held in Uji. A spectacular sky Tanabata show will be held, depicting the Milky Way that meets once a year in the night sky! We will reexamine the meaning and legend of the ancient Tanabata festival, which is “making a wish once a year,” and while inheriting this tradition, we will hold a modern Tanabata festival unique to Kyoto, fusing it with the “Kyoto Tanabata” held all over Kyoto, and holding an emotional “Kyoto Tanabata in Uji” that exudes the atmosphere of Uji.
Uji has flourished as a key transportation hub since ancient times, was a place where aristocrats had other occupations during the Heian period, and was also the setting for the Uji Chapter of The Tale of Genji. It is a city associated with Murasaki Shikibu, and is steeped in history and culture. Enjoy the “Encounter of the Milky Way,” a skyscape created with the latest lighting and a reproduction of the color temperature of light that evokes the lighting of candles during the Heian period.

例年、旧暦の七夕にあたる8月に「願い」をテーマに開催している「京の七夕」。 「一年に一度、願いごとをする」という七夕にちなみ、「願いごと」を募集します。お寄せいただいた願いごとは、京都仏教会と京都府神社庁が合同で実施する清水寺でのお焚き上げで、天に届けていただきます。Every year, Kyoto Tanabata is held in August, which corresponds to Tanabata on the lunar calendar, with the theme of “wishes.” In honor of Tanabata, which is “the one day a year when people make wishes,” we are soliciting “wishes.” Wishes submitted will be burned at Kiyomizu-dera Temple, a joint event run by the Kyoto Buddhist Association and the Kyoto Prefecture Shrine Association, and delivered to the heavens.
