The procession of Aoi Matsuri, one of the three main annual festivals of Kyoto, will be held this year on May 15 (Wed). The procession in elegant attire from the Heian period (794-1185) will parade through Kyoto. The festival is also famous for being depicted in the eleventh-century literary masterpiece the Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu and is considered the oldest novel in the world.
