Today, we had a solo traveler from Canada as our guest. This winter, Kanazawa has experienced heavy snowfall, turning the historic city into a pure white landscape. We took a leisurely one-hour walk through the snow-covered streets.t was magical to see the city covered in a blanket of snow.
On paths untouched by footprints, we tried walking with traditional ‘kanjiki’ snowshoes.The sound of the snow crunching under our snowshoes was so peaceful.
Today, we experienced a Kaga Yuzen dyeing workshop with a local Kaga Yuzen artist. Kaga Yuzen is a traditional Kanazawa craft, known for its exquisite hand-painted designs.
Kaga Yuzen is characterized by its realistic motifs, often inspired by nature.
At Ryukokuji Temple, which has deep connections to Kaga Yuzen, we experienced the beauty of Kanazawa’s nature and interacted with the local people. We also gained a glimpse into the thoughts and feelings of those who live in this region.
