"Let's take a roof."
At the Kobe exhibition, under the guidance of craftsmen from Kansai, we are preparing an experience of "Toma roofing". Tomatched roofing is a simple rice straw-roofing technique that used to be roofed in farm huts, but now it has been replaced by tin and vinyl sheets, and it has become almost invisible. However, since it is a thin and simple thatched roof, it is rich in breathability without rain, and it creates a pleasant shade with thatched roof. Let's recreate the tomatched roof in the tool hall with your hands!

"Let's cover the cypress bark."
We have prepared an experience to roof cypress barking, which is rarely experienced, using actual materials and tools. Just like a craftsman, take bamboo nails out of your mouth and fasten "tontonton" with a bamboo nail with a hammer. In addition, we will demonstrate the technique of "hinoki skin preparation", which is spelled out by layering thin cypress skin. It is a valuable opportunity that you can not usually experience, so please join us.
