After the sutras, you can enjoy a short Dharma talk while drinking tea. Be sure to stop by this space before touring Kyoto's temples and shrines! ○Experience details: Lacquer fan making experience Create your own unique lacquer fan (shissen)! Using the traditional Japanese technique of "suminagashi" (marbling), you can create your own original fan♪ The patterns created by the dyes dropped onto the water surface are truly once-in-a-lifetime experiences. You will complete a one-of-a-kind work of art that can never be made twice! "I'm worried because I'm not good at drawing..." Don't worry! First, you can carefully think about your design on practice paper, and then you can add your favorite pictures and letters to the actual fan with stamps and brush pens. The finishing touch is simply dropping your favorite color into a bucket of water and gently stirring with a bamboo skewer♪ When you gently dip the fan in the water, an astonishingly beautiful marble pattern will emerge! Wipe off the excess water and it's finished right there. From small children to adults, everyone can enjoy this fun experiment♪ What's more, the finished product will be offered to Buddha and a sutra will be chanted by a real Buddhist monk!? You will receive your finished product as a gift after the offering♪ *You can take it home that day! After listening to the sutra, you can enjoy tea and listen to the monk's talk♪ You'll hear a different story each time, so even repeat visitors can enjoy it!
