Overview
Under the guidance of the craftsman, you will experience the work of carefully layering the cypress skin one by one on a model of the cypress bark roof, and inserting bamboo nails one by one with a roof hammer and fixing them. You can also see how skilled craftsmen prepare cypress bark as a material, and how thin boards used for kokerabuki are split one by one. Please take a closer look at the world of traditional techniques that you can't usually see.
