• The Tokyo National Museum, nestled in the lush greenery of Ueno, Tokyo, boasts the oldest history in Japan and houses an impressive collection of approximately 120,000 items, including national treasures and important cultural properties. The activities we offer can be experienced in a tea room surrounded by the museum's beautiful gardens. The program we are proposing this time is a fulfilling experience in which you will make "nerikiri," a traditional Japanese sweet, prepare matcha tea while learning the etiquette of the tea ceremony, and enjoy it with your homemade nerikiri. An English interpreter will be present during the lesson, so you can participate with peace of mind even if you do not understand Japanese.

• Nerikiri, often called "edible art," is a type of confectionery that expresses the flowers and landscapes of each season. To make it easy for everyone to participate, this lesson will focus on making one type of nerikiri and one individual piece. The instructor will provide support for any difficult parts, so even beginners can feel at ease.
