Kyoto Koma Gion Yamamoto / Yamabushiyama

A Kyoto spinning top in the shape of a float used in the Gion Festival in Kyoto.

Beautiful Kyo tops are made by hand, one by one, by winding cotton cords (bundles of dyed cotton threads).

“Yamabushi” are Japanese mountain ascetics. According to their beliefs, mountains are the abode of supernatural powers and wisdom, which any man may acquire by practicing austerities for the proper amount of time. The figure on this float is “Jozokisho”, a famous Yamabushi in typical costume: a long white robe, with a hatchet and a rosary in his hands, and a conch shell in his belt.
