“松明(まつ)上げ 花背 八月十五日”
 
愛宕の火の神への献火であるとともに
火除けと五穀豊穣を願う行事。
千松の地松を差し立て中央に
高さ20mの灯籠木(とろぎ)を立てる。
その先端のモジ(籠)に向かって
火をつけた地松(松明)を回転させ
ながら次々に投げ入れていく。
火の粉はくるくると弧を描きながら
夜空を焦がす。
"Textile Name:Matsuage fire festival in Hanase August 15th"
 
This fire festival is an offering to Atago's fire god and a prayer for successful crops and protection against fire as well. A 20-meter high wooden pole called a torogi is placed in the center and a thousand of torches called a agematsu are planted around it. Men light the torches, swirl them and throw them one after another into a basket called moji which sits on top of the pole. The fire sparks fly round and round in a beautiful arc to light up the night sky.

葉月の月次絵は、洛北の地、花背の「松明(まつ)上げ」の様子を描いています。高さ20メートルの大傘に向かって松明を投げ上げて大傘に火をつけ、五穀豊穣を祈願する火の祭典です。
花背は蕎麦の産地で、美味しい手打ち蕎麦が食べられることでも有名です。 今月の京旬菓は、花背の地にちなんで、素材に蕎麦を取り入れました。白餡に蕎麦の実の蜜漬けとすり下ろした生わさびを混ぜ込み、上に香ばしく炒った蕎麦の実をのせています。わさびのツンとした風味が特徴の和菓子です。
August's painting is "the Matsuage fire festival" at Hanase in the northern part of Kyoto. The purpose of this festival is to pray for a good harvest by throwing torches towards a 20-meter high wooden pole to set it on fire. Hanase is a soba(buckwheat noodle)-producing district and is famous for the good soba you can eat there. Based on that, August's seasonal confections of Kyoto are made with soba. They are made of a sweetened white bean paste mixed with grated wasabi and glazed soba berries, and topped with a roasted soba berry. The fiery hot taste of wasabi is peculiar to this confection.
