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.

Snowboarding is a sport that combines skateboarding without bindings or edges, surfing, and snowboarding. The surface of the board is non-slip, so you can enjoy it easily with boots or snow shoes. What is a snowboard? Snowboards and snowtoys are a unique Japanese culture that was born from the idea of sliding across the snow with a wooden board. This simple toy, which has no edges or soles and is coated with varnish or resin and has a non-slip surface where you place your feet, spread quickly throughout snowy countries, giving birth to creative shapers all over the country and is still spreading rapidly (from the BUDDHABLANK website). Enjoy the winter season with a one-of-a-kind snowboard that you made yourself!
