A lecture entitled "Manyoshu and Kanji" was held at Nara Mahorobakan, located opposite the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi New Building, facing Chuo-dori, Nihonbashi Muromachi 1-chome.
Lecturer is Shin Oyama, Associate Professor, Faculty of Letters, Nara Women's University.
The time was about an hour and a half, but the teacher's story was very interesting, and when there was no hiragana or katakana, how to express "Yamato Kotoba no Uta" using only foreign characters called "Kanji" It was a lecture that impressed me about the ingenuity and wisdom of our predecessors, 
and our ancestors were really great.
This course is the first and the second and third sessions, with the theme of "Tradition of Buddhism," "Naoya Shiga," and "Minamoto no Yoshitsune," which are related to Nara.
I think it's a good course to get intellectual stimulation, so if you are interested, please apply by all means.
Anyone can participate on a first-come, first-served basis by applying from a postcard, fax, or Nara Mahorobakan website.
On the day, at the exhibition corner on the first floor, costumes from the Tenpyo era were displayed.
In addition, the photo below shows the popular products of the hotel, "Kaki weather" (left) and "Dried persimmon jelly". "Kaki weather" is a dried fruit that slices the sweet persimmon Fuyu persimmon, and the more you chew, the more sweet it becomes. 
"Dried persimmon jelly" also has a condensed original taste of persimmons, both of which are healthy Nara Is a famous persimmon production area.
"Nara ni persimmon" came to mind immediately. When the bell rings, Horyuji Temple (Shiki)
Shiki wrote such a phrase that seems to have liked big persimmons.
