On a midsummer weekend, we went to the Kyoto Pavilion on the 1st floor of the Yanmar Tokyo Building, a 1-minute walk from the Yaesu Central Exit of JR Tokyo Station.
The Kyotokan is an antenna shop opened as a base for transmitting information about Kyoto, and is a pioneer in several prefectural antenna shops in Chuo-ku.
After buying 1,000 pickles (delicious
) of "Nishiri" for a limited time, looking at the hall, I found a fan that looks like summer and Kyoto-like.
The photo shows the fan of Kyo fan "Aiba" (Aiba). "Ainami" is a long-established store that has been in business for 300 years.
In addition to the practical purpose of cooling the fan, it is said that it has been used as a gift as a lucky items to decorate it and feel the coolness with the eyes, and to "cut off the demon with the wind."
The design of the watermark fan that was displayed was a long sword hoko that was at the top of the Yamahoko cruise at the Gion Festival, and its elaborate construction was truly an art craft.
This month, Kyoto is at the height of the Gion Festival. At the Kyotokan, the BGM of "Contichitin
" and Gion Hayashi played, and the fragrance of the incense was free, so it felt very good.
Please refer to the website of the Kyoto Museum.

In addition, we received special permission and took pictures where photography was prohibited in the hall.
