  1. From 1806 the sweet, christened 'gyōja mochi', was sold on the day before the Gion Matsuri's first parade.

    Sales have been disrupted only twice in Kashiwaya Mitsusada's (柏屋光貞) history...during WWII and during the more recent pandemic.

  2. The three evenings before the Gion Festival's 'Saki Matsuri' (first parade) and Ato Matsuri (second parade) are known as 'yoiyoiyoi-yama' (宵宵宵山), 'yoiyoi-yama' (宵宵山) and 'yoi-yama' (宵山).

    Float treasures are displayed, musicians perform, chimaki are sold, and guests are invited to look inside the larger floats.
