    It is theorised that the Okuribi truly emerged as a result of the authorities clamping down on the many local fire festivals.

    As fire was a constant danger to the city (and raucous celebrations a source of unease for the government), the Okuribi offered a safer alternative.

    Iwata Hideaki (岩田英彬), in his work "Kyō no Daimonji Monogatari" (京の大文字ものがたり), says "the event was launched by people with no particular status or fame, so there’s no record of its origin".
    This may explain why we know so little about the giant Okuribi (送り火)😒

    Unlike the Gion and Aoi festivals, the Okuribi's origins are hazy.

    In 1603 the nobleman Funabashi Hidekata (舟橋秀賢), in his diary 'Keichō Nikken-roku' (慶長日件録), describes going to the Kamo River to see the mountain bonfires. It is the earliest record we have.
