The Oharame Festival

The Oharame Festival starts from the middle of April and lasts for about six weeks. One of the main events involves dozens of local women wearing traditional clothing walking the 2 kilometers from Jakko-in Temple to Sanzen-in Temple. This path is meant to represent the journey that ancient villagers took between Ohara and Kyoto. Back then, local men would travel to Kyoto pulling handcarts laden with firewood to sell. The women, known as Oharame, would travel with them, carrying firewood on their heads. The bundles weighed as much as 60 kilograms and were cushioned by a circle of woven straw. They would be traded in the city for items that were difficult to obtain in Ohara, such as fresh fish. This practice started in the Muromachi period (1336–1573) and continued into the Meiji era (1868–1912), when gas became available for heat and lighting in the city.

During the festival, women wear various styles of clothing, reflecting the changes that took place over the centuries. Oharame typically wore a special kimono with tight sleeves and excess fabric above the waist. These were shorter than traditional kimono, ending at the knees for maximum comfort and mobility. The women also wore leggings and woven straw sandals.

大原女節

「大原女節」從 4月中旬開始，持續 6 周。最引人注目的活動，是當地女性身穿傳統服裝，在寂光院至三千院間長約2公里道路上遊行。這項活動意在重現昔日村民們往來於大原與京都之間經商的情形。當時，當地男人用手推車將木柴運往京都，被稱為「大原女」的女人們則在頭上墊一塊稻草墊，頂著60公斤重的柴捆同行。進城後，她們用木柴去交換鮮魚等在大原買不到的商品。這種習俗始於室町時代(1336-1573),一直持續到昭和初期加熱和照明的燃氣普及之前。

大原女節期間，當地女性會身穿反映時代變遷的各式服裝。窄袖寬腰是大原女的典型裝束，上衣短於傳統和服，僅及膝部，舒適且便於活動，下纏綁腿，腳蹬草鞋。
