Itinerary
Make your own art panel using Tsuchikabe, a traditional machiya wall material using clay, rice straw, sand, and seaweed.
Tsuchikabe, or earthen wall, is a key material in Kyoto’s traditional machiyas, not just for its durability but also for its attributes to enhance physical and mental well-being.
