"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 Toma-roofing is a simple rice straw-roofing technique that used to be roofed in huts for crops, but now it has been replaced by tin and vinyl sheets, and it has hardly been seen.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.
