First, Mr. Muramatsu said, “I am very happy to be able to open ‘NAKED GARDEN ONE KYOTO’ in Koshoji Temple, Kyoto, which is full of charm. Instead, it’s about being united with the town, such as Kotozaka and Asagiri Bridge, so I’d be happy if you could hold the ‘NAKED Distance Lantern’ and stroll around the town while playing with the interaction that changes the lighting.” I talked about my thoughts. Junko Matsumura, Mayor of Uji City, said, “This ceremony started with the tea ceremony, followed by a tea ceremony to pray for the success of the event, and an experience unique to Uji. I am grateful that it was a very appropriate opening. Continuing from last year. , I hope that we can hold it at Koshoji Temple, and this year, in real and virtual, I hope that the fluff of “DANDELION” praying for peace will fly around Koshoji Temple. It’s a beautiful time of year, so I hope you’ll enjoy walking around Uji.” He commented on the charm of Uji City and the thoughts he put into the event. Koshoji Temple Gakuseihakubunkanji said, “Everyone in the hall is happy that Koshoji Temple is being used in this way. However, times are changing, so I hope that the temple will be used more and more in the future, and I would like to provide entertainment that will impress them.” I commented. Mr. Tokichi Nakamura, representative of the Uji City Tourism Association, said, “Uji is a city of tea and tourism, so I am very happy that we were treated to Uji tea at the beginning of this ceremony. The whole area will be lit up.I hope that you will take this opportunity to spend a whole day enjoying the scenery of Uji at night and Koshoji Temple, which is different from the daytime.” .
And before the ceremony, as a special production of “Urasenke tea ceremony experience and digital art experience of making tea”, which can be experienced only for 3 days from 11th to 13th at Koshoji Temple, tea ceremony master Urasenke Nara Munehisa ( Mr. Sokyu Nara performed the tea ceremony.
