Activity

Experience making original accessories with "Higo Zogan," a form of inlaid metal work that was used to decorate the guard of the swords of the samurai in Kumamoto.

The activity is taught by a fourth-generation craftsman who carries on the tradition of making sword guards, inheriting the Higo Zogan techniques passed down through multiple generations of his family.

You can learn about the history behind Higo Zogan from traditional artisans.
