葵祭の後祭(あとまつり)となる煎茶献茶祭が2025年5月18日、京都市左京区の世界遺産・下鴨神社で行われた。汗ばむ陽気の中、前日の雨で洗われた新緑が鮮やかさを増す境内で、小川流煎茶の小川珂楽(からく)副家元が一煎を献じた。

The Sencha Offering Festival, which is the second festival of the Aoi Festival, was held at Shimogamo Shrine, a World Heritage Site in Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City, on May 18, 2025. In the sweaty weather, the deputy head of the Ogawa school of Sencha, Ogawa Karaku, offered a cup of tea in the shrine grounds, where the new greenery washed by the previous day's rain was brightening the colors.
