This is a plan to commemorate and make a pilgrimage to the sad sacred place where SAMURAI and his friends were defeated in the Osaka Siege in the last war and fell to the castle, wearing armor and helmets reminiscent of the battle. ~ A famous castle that records the history of prosperity and turmoil of the people of Japan ~ This is how Osaka Castle is introduced on its official website. However, there was no trace of Osaka Castle, which boasted of being impregnable, as all of the moats other than the main castle and the moat that had been dug back during the peace of Ieyasu's plot at the Osaka Siege were filled in. The Tokugawa army destroyed the Sanada army and invaded the castle one after another, led by the Echizen army led by Matsudaira Tadanao, who was the first to arrive.The fire set by a Tokugawa army informer in the main castle kitchen quickly destroyed the castle tower. Osaka Castle finally fell at midnight on the 7th. When Hinomoto's greatest soldier, Nobushige, was a hostage of the Toyotomi family, he was liked by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, so he was treated more like a vassal than a hostage. The reason Yukimura sided with Toyotomi, who was at an overwhelming disadvantage at the Battle of Osaka, was to protect his loyalty to Hideyoshi. ``This Yukimura was summoned to a place where he was simply trying to prolong his life, and he was given honor as a samurai. This kindness cannot be replaced by land or money. ''When Ieyasu tried to persuade him to defect, he said, ``I have no intention of defecting even if I receive half of Japan.'' ``If you forget your debts and indulge in self-interest, can you call yourself a human being?'' he left behind the words of Hinomoto's greatest soldier.

Let's learn the bushido and experience the samurai spirit.What is the most important thing for a samurai? Wearing hakama, sandals, and a sword, and learning etiquette, manners, and kata. We call it the BUSHIDO sign.Next, as a BUSHIDO LEARN, you will experience the weight and sharpness of a real Japanese sword. We will learn the basics of swordsmanship (Battou and Nattou).We will take a break with SAMURAI TEA on the way. You will be entertained at a tea ceremony, as samurai risked their lives to "entertain" and "be entertained".Before participating in the final battle of the Warring States Period, the Battle of Osaka, the participants are asked to prepare for death and reflect on their own lives, writing their last words with a large brush on every piece of paper. This is called Deathbed calligraphy.At last, he puts on his armor and helmet to become a bushido master and goes to battle at the castle of Osaka to gain military merit in the battle of Osaka. However, when the defeat was imminent, the samurai, for the sake of honor, would not suffer the shame of the noose, even if they lost the battle, but would die by harakiri or cutting their belly before being captured.

In this plan, you will experience the experience at NOIR CAFÉ, an atelier surrounded by plants by Miki Takeuchi, an instructor of Sanshin Oeda School of Kodo and a flower designer. Many people who ask about the art of incense talk about the ancient incense group called ``Genji incense''. Regardless of the school, ``Genjiko'' is a group of incense that is still practiced today. The designs of the answers (listening names) based on the 54 pages of The Tale of Genji are famous as ``Genji Konozu'', which are various traditional Japanese patterns such as maki-e and kimonos. In this experience, you can experience what Genji incense is like at the incense meeting, and how to listen to the scent and come up with an answer. It's hard to sit up straight, and incense parties are difficult to get into. However, this is a plan that allows those who are interested in what Genji incense is like to fully experience it. After enjoying the Genji incense, you can create your own scent just like the aristocrats of the Heian period, when The Tale of Genji was written. The Tale of Genji also depicts scent as a theme, and aristocrats used to infuse their kimonos with elaborate original scents. In this plan, you will create a scented bag by blending your own original natural fragrance. The finished scented bag can be set in a special paulownia wood box designed and arranged by top designer Miki Takeuchi with dried flowers related to the Tale of Genji, and you can take it home as a special incense burner. After the experience, we will offer scones made with the cafe's special incense ingredients and medicinal tea blended with edible flowers and herbal cordial. Please spend an elegant time in an extraordinary time warp for both mind and body.

It is resistant to rashes and dries quickly, so you can take your work home with you on the same day. In addition, in this course, you can prepare a vessel for restoration, so you can easily experience Kintsugi empty-handed. Of course, you can also bring the vessel you want to do kintsugi. The shop is located in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, where many long-established traditional craft shops gather. During the Edo period, it prospered as a base for commerce and logistics, and even now you can feel the atmosphere of Edo culture everywhere.
