Daisuke Michigami, a roofer who has inherited the family business (president of Daiei Ceramics), continues to take on the "indefatigable challenge" of unraveling the "wisdom," "skills," and "teachings" of his predecessors that are embedded in each and every "Awaji tile," a traditional industry that has a history of 400 years, and passing them on to the future. What is the reason for continuing to take on new challenges? We will get to the bottom of the secret. Daisuke Michigami, a roofer, will talk about the charm of "tiles" created by the soil of Awaji over time, the thoughts he puts into making each and every tile, the scenery created by the layers of "tiles," and his commitment to the "beauty" of Japanese architecture, all at "Gallery Doza," a space completely wrapped in soil and tiles. Awaji tiles were hit hard by the unfounded rumor that "the damage caused by the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake was so great because the roofs were tiled." Even in an environment where the survival of Awaji tiles is still in doubt, Michigami has found great potential in "Ginfurubi" (tiles that are new yet somehow nostalgic, baked to a vintage, antique texture), and has been bringing out new charms of Awaji tiles that are different from anything that has come before. Now that his thoughts have taken shape, tiles are connecting people with each other, and Japan's good old traditional beauty is being reevaluated. Tile maker Michigami Daisuke's "insatiable challenge" will continue. After listening to his story, you can enjoy a space surrounded by earth and tiles that you would never believe is inside a tile factory, a view of the townscape that has flourished due to tile production since the Edo period, and Michigami's passion for "beauty" at "Gallery Doza," where you can feel Michigami's passion for "beauty." You can pretend to be a tile craftsman and try making your own "one-of-a-kind tile coaster," one of the new possibilities of tiles. You can choose from a variety of Japanese pattern designs that are prepared in advance, as well as original designs. Try making a rich work full of your sensibility. Experience schedule9:00~ (20 minutes) Message from tile maker Daisuke Michigami (President of Daiei Ceramics Co., Ltd.) - "Creating the future of tiles" - He will talk while showing slides at [Gallery Doza].9:20~11:20 Experience making your own original tile coaster that is one of a kind in the world *You can start at any time between 9:00 and 14:00.

This is a private canvas canoe and SUP experience limited to one group, set on the dam lake in Misato Town, Miyazaki Prefecture. A canvas canoe is a traditional style canoe made by stretching canvas over a wooden frame using the same construction method as 100 years ago. It is characterized by the warmth and lightness of wood, and when floating on the water, it is a gentle ride that makes you feel as if you are one with nature. Depending on the number of people, we can provide one canoe and up to two SUPs. You can relax in the canoe, splash around in the water with a SUP, or enjoy both, and you can enjoy each in your own way. We will provide you with a little special coffee, tea, and sweets. This plan is limited to one group (one group or one family), so you will not be riding with other customers, so please spend your time on the water at your own pace. The guide will always accompany you and give a lecture on the calm water surface with almost no water current, so even first-timers and families with small children can participate with peace of mind.

Just by living, people accumulate dirt and impurities at the end of each day. It would be nice if we could wash them off ourselves every day, but for busy modern people, it is not easy. Mount Koya, which spreads out in a mountain basin surrounded by peaks at an altitude of about 1,000m, is a sacred place of Shingon Esoteric Buddhism founded by Kobo Daishi Kukai 1,200 years ago. This plan involves climbing together to the top of Benten-dake, the watershed of Mount Koya, and performing a purification and purification prayer in front of the shrine. (Depending on the weather, etc., it may be performed at a different shrine.) A special human figure will be prepared. Usually, the Great Purification is performed at the end of June and the end of December, but for our purification and purification plan, a specialized prayer leader will be available all year round when visitors are in a good mood. We will offer our original incense amulet after praying for it. Why not spend a refreshing time with the goddess of water (Benzaiten)? This is an experiential workshop recommended for those who want to learn more about Mount Koya.
