Tour
"On-site tour of cypress bark"
You can see how the cypress-roofed roof, which is often seen in temples and shrines, is actually roofed at the roof replacement construction site of the National Treasure Onjo-ji Temple Silla Zen Shrine and the Important Cultural Property Onjo-ji Temple Daimon. I can do it. It is a masterpiece that the roof craftsman put out bamboo nails from his mouth all at once and roofs the cypress bark with a hammer with a rhythmic sound. Please take a closer look at how the beautiful curved beauty unique to cypress bark is created.

Commemorative Seminar
"Roofed with board in North Europe - Wooden Church in Finland -"
Nordic Finland is blessed with coniferous tree, and wooden architecture is made of log masonry. In particular, the box pillar type construction method is very rare in the world. On this frame, there is a gassho-style roof frame, and on top of it is a roof plate made of hako willow board cut from Axe. The pattern varies depending on the craftsman's attention. The roof plate, painted with jet-black tar, harmonizes beautifully in the forest. This time, I would like to introduce the structure and roof of Finnish wooden churches in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Hands-on classroom
"Let's have thatch,"
At the Kobe exhibition, under the guidance of craftsmen from Kansai, we are preparing an experience of "Toma roofing". Toma-roofing is a simple rice straw-roofing technique that used to be roofed in huts for crops, but now it has been replaced by tin and vinyl sheets, and it has hardly been seen. However, since it is a thin and simple thatched roof, it does not rain, it is rich in breathability, and creates a pleasant shade unique to thatched roof. Let's recreate Tomaro in the tool hall with your hands!

"Let's lay the cypress bark,"
We have prepared an experience of roofing cypress bark, which is rarely experienced, using actual materials and tools. Just like the craftsman, put out the bamboo nails from the mouth and fasten the cypress bark with a hammer with a bamboo nail. In addition, we will demonstrate the technique of "Japanese cypress skin preparation", which is spelled on thin cypress skins. It is a valuable opportunity that you can not usually experience, so please join us.
