Let's enjoy a special time at Daisho-in which is considered to be the oldest temple in Miyajima of Aki.
This plan offers you a cool experience to wear a noble princess-kimono and play "tosenkyo", a Japanese traditional game.
"Tosenkyo" is an old traditional game similar to "Darts", where targets called "Chou" (means butterfly) perched on the wooden box called "Makura" (means pillow) and a player tosses an opened fan to the target. Scores determined according to the position of the fan, the target and the box.
It is not just a game of achieving scores, it is a demonstration of an elegant movement and its rules were described in the Tale of Genji, and moreover, a decoration of a butterfly and a pillow is so beautiful.
This unique game was created nearly 250 years ago in Japan.
There are different rules of Tosenkyo depending on schools and regions, but
in this plan you will learn basic and simple rules, so you can enjoy the game with an easy mind.
This game became very popular among town residents during Edo period. Let's dream about Heian culture.
The event will be held either at Daisho-in Hall where you can enjoy a panoramic sea view or at Shoseian Hall located in the Japanese garden.
After tosenkyo game, you may remain in your heian-style kimono and walk around Daisho-in for about 30 min.
※English speaking guide is provided for tosenkyo experience.
※This plan is for ladies only.
After playing tosenkyo, enjoy walking around Daisho-in for 30 min. in tsuboshozoku, a heian-style kimono.
Enjoy your princess-look and feel free to take photos!
Bring your camera or smartphone and enjoy your time with your companions. Tsuboshozoku was worn by princesses 1000 years ago, during the Heian Period, when they went on a pilgrimage.
