Heian Jingu Shrine/Festival of Ages (475 words) |
 | In celebration of the 1,100th anniversary of the founding of the capital and in commemoration of the Emperor Kammu, the citizens of Kyoto established the Heian Shrine in 1895. |
| One of the purposes for the founding of the shrine was to leave to posterity a symbol of the great respect the citizens of that time had for the Emperor. |
| As one of the projects of the Heian Kosha, it was decided to annually celebrate October 22nd (the date when the capital was moved to Kyoto) with a grand festival. |
