Local Discovery
You can enjoy the sutras of Kofukuji, the site of Kawahara-ji Temple in Asuka Village, in Grand Mercure Nara Kashihara.
In addition, for more than 300 years, we have prepared brushes and ink from Akashiya, a brush manufacturer specializing in brushes that inherit the culture of brushes in Nara Prefecture, the birthplace of Japanese brushes.
For beginners and children, as well as those who have experienced calligraphy, please spend a time in contact with the history and culture of Nara through sutras.
Akashiya
Founded in 1716. In Yamato no Kuni, I have been engaged in making brushes as a brush clerk at Nanto Seven Great Temples. In the middle of the Edo period, the first head of the family raised 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. You can also enjoy a tour of brush making by traditional craftsmen, brush making experiences and workshops on making works.

Kofuku-ji Temple, the site of Kawahara-ji Temple
Kawahara-ji Temple Ruins Kofukuji Temple is a temple located in Asuka-mura, Nara Prefecture, with many historical mysteries remaining. In the Asuka era, it was counted as one of the four Great Asuka temples along with Asuka-dera, Yakushi-ji Temple, and Daikandaiji Temple, and it was a large temple that Emperor Tenmu gathered calligraphy and performed for the first time. It was abandoned during the Muromachi period, but Kofukuji is the successor to the lantern and is built on the site.
