The annual "Shimogamo Summer Used Book Festival" is currently underway at Tadasu-no-Mori (the Forest of Tadasu) within Shimogamo Shrine in Sakyo Ward, Kyoto. Approximately 300,000 items—ranging from books to vinyl records and figurines—are on display, and enthusiasts are browsing for their favorite finds despite occasional rain showers. The event runs until August 16.
