* “Luxurious zazen cultural experience at night at Keishunin” Program details* *Program 1: Visit the grounds while learning about the origins and history of Keishunin*
* [What is Myoshinji Temple Keishunin] *

* [What is Keishunin Garden, a nationally designated historic site of scenic beauty] *
The four gardens were created by Tamabuchibo, a disciple of Kobori Enshu, during the Edo period, and represent the journey from a person who entered training to enlightenment, and have been designated as a national historic site and scenic garden.
*Program 2: Zazen experience under the light of Japanese candles* Japanese candles made from plant-based materials. Compared to the more familiar Western candles, they have a larger flame that flickers, and their thicker wicks make them more difficult to extinguish. Experience zazen while being surrounded by the gentle light of Japanese candles. * [About Nakamura Candle’s Japanese candles] *
Established in 1891, Nakamura Candle’s Japanese candles are
traditional Japanese candles that can be placed in famous temples in Kyoto. Japanese candles made from plant-based materials produce less soot and are resistant to wind. In addition, each item is
painstakingly hand-painted by a painter from Kyo Yuzen, a school famous for its kimonos.
