Notes

[Family Crest Design Activity and Original Family Symbol Production]
Family crests are the ultimate beauty of circles and lines, created with only a compass and a ruler.
Kyogen has established itself as a new art form by fusing today's technology with traditional Japanese techniques that have remained unchanged since the ancient Heian period (794-1192).
You will have a special opportunity to experience family crest design in a workshop that is the source of Kyogen's creativity.
You will hear about the role of family crests for Japanese people, the process of making them, how to use tools, and what 0.08mm is intended to do.
Experience the depth of the art through the activity of actually writing the family crest.
After using the tools yourself, you will be able to see the craftsmanship right in front of you. Please enjoy the beauty of family crest in front of your eyes while appreciating the reasons for being a master craftsman.
Finally, we can also accommodate those who wish to create their own original family crest. We will deliver the data based on e-mail communication.
Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime work of art that will leave your own identity in the form of Japanese inspiration.
