【we had a full day tour in Ayabe】
先週はイギリスからお二人と、カナダからカップルを綾部ツアーに案内しました。
イギリスからきた素敵なお二人!映画に出てきそうなカップルでした。そのホリーさんは洋紙をつくられているということで、和紙に興味津々。紙を漉くだけでなく重ねていく行程も挑戦!
午後、そんな和紙の原料楮(こうぞ)を使った餅つきを上林で行いました。初めてのお二人息ぴったり!ayabe
We had a great day with 2 people from UK.
They joined in our Ayabe full day tour, getting to know KOZO.
Kozo is kind of mulberry using for WASHI paper mostly.
So in the tour, they make WASHI(Japanese paper) in the morning. Since Holly makes pulp paper(we call YOSHI, literally western paper)
So she learnt deference of both paper. Chatting with a craftsman made her question clearly.
In the afternoon you had MOCHI making.
MOCHI is simply made from rice. And during steaming process, we can add different flavor.
And here we have KOZO once again for MOCHI.
They pound MOCHI so hard which makes really sticky MOCHIY texture.
Thank you for coming to Ayabe!
