The Mingei movement began through gatherings in Kyoto between philosopher Yanagi Soetsu, and potters Kawai Kanjiro and Hamada Shoji. During a research trip to study Mokujiki’s wood-carved Buddhist statues , their discussions deepened, leading to the coining of the term “mingei” (“folk art”) in 1925. To mark the 100th anniversary of the term’s inception, we are holding the special exhibition,The 100th Anniversary of Mingei: Kyoto’s Legacy of Everyday Life,which reveals the relationship between Mingei and Kyoto.

Conan&#39;s camera position is Kamogawa. It is a river that runs through the center of Kyoto. It is also a representative scenic spot. The scenery is generally very beautiful when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. It is nice to take a walk beside it after a good meal.

I went for a walk,
and it seemed that there were many tourists coming and going.
There was a stele of Premier Zhou Enlai&#39;s poems.
At that time, he had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery of Arashiyama.
He was always worried about the country.
The stele of poems he left behind well reflects his mood at that time.
The scenery is natural.
It is a very beautiful mountain painting.
Walk and stop to enjoy the leisure in the mountains.
You can&#39;t feel the scorching heat at all.
It&#39;s still very good.

Now is the season for viewing plum blossoms, playing in the water in the summer, enjoying the cool air in the autumn maple leaves, and praying for the New Year, which are also full of Japanese style. As an important birthplace of Japanese Shinto culture, it is worth a visit. It is also an interesting place as a holy place for students to pray for passing the college entrance examination and entering their favorite university.

Shimogamo Shrine
