About the event: Kyoto Middle Way Festival
On Saturday, October 12th, we will hold a Shinto ritual, the "Chuyosai," at a cultural property temple in Kyoto. This will be a dedication ceremony that will focus on "black" and deepen the spirit of moderation from an artistic perspective. The Rinzai sect Nanzenji Temple, "Reishisan Kounji," is usually closed to the public because it is a temple with ties to the imperial family and houses many cultural properties, including a Buddhist statue by Unkei. https://www.sakuraitomo.site/cyuyosai
[Part 1] You can see the fusion of a garden designated as a scenic spot by Kyoto City and paintings. You can also enjoy a quiet moment with a shakuhachi performance by Daisuke Kaminaga of the Wagakki Band and a zazen experience.
[Part 2] We will prepare a special meal carefully selected by the craftsmen so that you can feel the essence of the Shinto ritual. It is time to further deepen the spirit of moderation through the food, which has been carefully prepared down to the smallest detail. The performers will also be present.
