LOCAL DISCOVERY Honorable Mention
In Grand Mercure Nara Kashihara, you can enjoy the sutras of Kawahara-ji Temple Kofukuji Temple in Asukamura Village, where the first sutra was performed in Japan.
For more than 300 years in Nara Prefecture, the birthplace of Japanese brushes, we have prepared brushes and ink from Akashiya, a manufacturer specializing in brushes that inherit the culture of brushes.
For beginners and children, as well as those who have experienced calligraphy, please spend a time touching the history and culture of Nara through the sutra.
Testimony
Founded in 1716. In Yamato no Kuni, I have been engaged in writing brushes as a writer of Nanto Shichidaiji. In the middle of the Edo period, the first owner gave a sign of Akashiya as a brush wholesaler, and it is a brush manufacturer that inherits the culture of brushes for more than 300 years.
There is a showroom that displays and sells products in the company building, where you can buy calligraphy brushes, brush pens, makeup brushes, etc., as well as a tour of brush making by traditional craftsmen and workshops on brush making experiences and work making .

Kofukuji Temple Ruins of Kawaharaji Temple
Kawahara-ji Temple Kofukuji Temple is a temple located in Asukamura Village, Nara Prefecture, where many historical mysteries remain. In the Asuka era, along with Asuka-ji, Yakushi-ji Temple, and Daikan-daiji Temple, it was counted as the four Great temples of Asuka, and it was a large temple where Emperor Tenmu gathered for the first time and performed a sutra. It was abandoned during the Muromachi period, but Kofukuji Temple was built on the site following the lantern.
