Experience making your own kaleidoscope at the Zenkoji Temple lodgings! Create your own object with a simple kit!

If you fill it with oil and keep the flower shape as it is like a herbarium, you can make a herbarium kaleidoscope, or you can make a higher-grade kaleidoscope with the gentle colors and light of natural stones. Galerie Ren is located inside Hakurenbo, the lodgings of Zenkoji Temple. Create fun memories with this hands-on experience while visiting Zenkoji Temple.

When you hear the word kaleidoscope, many people think that they made it once using a mirror, a cylinder, origami, etc. during school work. When created by an artist with basically the same structure, the image becomes an artistic work that expresses an infinite microcosm. When you see the reaction of customers looking into kaleidoscope works in the gallery, you can instantly realize the artistic power of kaleidoscope that draws you into the world of beauty.
