Since this is a great opportunity, why not come into contact with Kanazawa's traditional culture even just a little bit and have an experience that can only be had at that time? It rains a lot in Kanazawa, so I was worried about whether I would be able to wear a kimono and take a leisurely stroll.If you experience making kimono hagire art, you don't have to worry about that at all! ! -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------<What is kimono hagire art making? >It is an experience to carefully untie kimonos that are no longer wearable due to burnt holes or stains that will not come off, cut them into small pieces and attach them to paper patterns using kimono hagire to create a one-of-a-kind piece of art. We have a variety of patterns available, such as Kanazawa Station's Tsuzumimon, Kenrokuen's Kotoji Lantern, and Kanazawa Castle, so please choose the one you like! Don't worry, there are also simple designs for children, such as dinosaurs and flowers. It doesn't require any special skills, so anyone can easily do it. What's interesting is that even with the same pattern, depending on the kimono haggis used, you can end up with a variety of different designs! ! Once completed, you can put it in a frame and take it home. -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------<Plan details>① Reception Our store has a very homey atmosphere and friendly staff.

The water is boiled over charcoal, making it mellow and even more delicious. The sound of boiling water and the sound of a mortar when grinding matcha is called "matsukaze". It's a very healing sound ~ ☆ Trivia ☆ The beginning of Matcha was brought back by Eisai Zen Master when he went to China to study Zen Buddhism at the end of the 12th century. It is said to be tea fruit and Yagen, and was used to make medicine. Tea was also a medicine, so I still recommend "How about a cup of tea?" ☆ Plan contents ☆ Nanao's specialty "soybean candy" + matcha ¥ 500 How about taking a break? !!

「本当に、この道であっているのかな?」そう、今回は集合場所に到着時する前からドキドキが始まっていました。看板はあるものの、奥まった所へと車を進める事になるので到着するまで不安が募りました(集合場所を見つけた時はほっとしました)。 体験はまず、案内をしてくださるガイドの船津さんと、当主の荒谷さんの紹介から始まり、安全のための注意事項の説明、それからヘルメットの装着をしました。 準備が整うと、重ねられた石の間を通り、工具等がある小屋の間を通って採石場の入り口へ。入り口を見たときは思わず吐いた息と共に「うわぁー」と声が漏れました。 大きく開いた入り口、壁は白っぽくて幾何学的な模様が刻まれていました。私には不思議でとても美しく魅力的に見えました。 採石場の中へ入り、独特な雰囲気を感じ、まるで異世界に来たような感覚がしました(どう感じたかは上手く言葉で表現できませんので割愛で)。 実際に石を切り出す所を見せていただき、石を切る時の音の変化を感じる事もできました。 また、石の状態を探りながら採石していく技術は長年受け継がれ、歴史と凄みを感じました。 お話していただいたことや実際に体験したことは全て興味深いもので、私は参加して良かったです。 今回、参加した時期が良く、外気と採石場の気温の差を感じる事が出来なかったので、また別の季節に参加したいと思いますいます。

It was also used in that famous cafe! What is the functionality of Takigahara stone? Takigahara Town, Komatsu City is a production area of Takigahara stone with beautiful blue gray color. The numerous stone quarries (choba) with a history of more than 100 years and arch bridges made entirely of stone are the major reasons why Komatsu City has been certified as a Japanese heritage site for its stone culture. Ishizai Aratani Shoten is a stone material shop that manages the only active stone quarry in Takigahara, which used to have many stone quarries. In this program, Mr. Shuichiro Funatsu, a geoguide who is familiar with the Takigahara area, and Mr. Yumi Aratani, the owner of Stone Aratani Shoten, have teamed up to guide you through the traditional arch bridge and inside the quarry. This is a tour where you can fully experience the beauty and functionality of Takigahara stone, which is used in various places, from burial mounds and graves to bridges, the dirt floors of ordinary homes, and stylish cafes. After the tour, we will hold a consultation meeting where you can consult us if you are considering using it as a building material. *If you would like to participate in the workshop after the tour, please apply below. Plan name: [Ishikawa / Komatsu City] Visit the only remaining farm in Komatsu and experience stone processing ★Workshop included★ *For foreign nationals: Information on the day will be in Japanese only.
普段入る事の出来ない石切場にお邪魔させて頂きました。どのように切り出していくか細かく教えて頂き、面白かったです。子供達も圧巻の空間に興味津々。実際に石が切り取られている場所をみると色々な発見があり、大人も子供も楽しめとてもいい経験になりました。
