VR program "Folding Screens of Scenes in and around Kyoto, Funaki version"

This year, the Folding Screens of Scenes in and around Kyoto, Funaki version was decided to be designated as a National Treasure.
We will offer a detailed description of rakuchu rakugai, the area in and around Kyoto in two terms.

First term: April 20 (Wed) - May 29 (Sun)
Strolling Around Kyoto
Shijo Gawara district to Hoko-ji temple

Second term: June 1 (Wed) - July 10 (Sun)
Strolling Around Kyoto
Visiting Nijo-jo castle and other temples and shrines

 

The first term introduces the area from Shijo Gawara district to Hoko-ji Daibutsuden (the building that houses a large Buddha statue at Hoko-ji temple), which no longer exist. You will see a theater staging joururi, a style of storytelling using puppets, and classic kabuki drama from the early Edo period. Then, witness the unique freedom and energy of life in the pre-Edo period while walking around the Kamogawa River.
The second term will take you to the Gion Festival, temples, and shirines in the city as we make our way towards Nijo-jo castle, stopping by a bustling everyday shopping district to see the local merchants in action. At the Nijo-jo castle, get a feel for the new Tokugawa shogunate era as you learn about the traditional kitchen and cuisine as well as the courts of justice.
