前列（其一）
The Zenretsu (Front Procession), Part 1
People in what look like wide hats and court caps move in a column, with trees and a long-roofed building behind them.
About this photo
A long column of people moves from left to right. People in white robes and people in black robes mingle, and in the left foreground, one person in black robes appears large. Behind are trees and a building with a long roof, and on its second floor is something like a railing. The foreground is a bright road.
Because it goes just ahead of the Shinkoretsu, the procession of the deities, this group is called the Zenretsu, or front procession, at today's Jidai Festival. It is led by the sacred sakaki branch (on-sakaki), and dancers of Karyobin and Kocho, gagaku court musicians and others follow.
