Glow-in-the-Dark Mud Ball Workshop
An hands-on experience creating “living clay balls” packed with traditional plastering techniques. Why not make your own clay balls—ones that regain their luster when polished and continue to shine for years, even decades? The painstaking process of polishing is almost like meditation. The time spent clearing your mind while touching the clay is the ultimate luxury in today’s world. Which color will you choose at any given moment? Those shifts in your mood and sensibilities are also an important part of the experience.

Area & City/Town Introduction (Nagaokakyo City)
Nagaokakyo City is located in the southwestern part of Kyoto Prefecture and is a compact city situated halfway between Kyoto and Osaka. While it offers excellent transportation convenience thanks to dual access via the JR and Hankyu rail lines, it is also a charming city where history, a natural environment rich in nature, and culture harmoniously coexist. Known as a site associated with “Nagaokakyō,” where Japan’s capital was once located, ancient historical sites and temples and shrines remain close at hand even today. Nagaokakyo City is also known as a major producer of bamboo, and its specialty products—such as “Kyoto bamboo shoots”—are famous. We invite you to visit Nagaokakyo City, where history and a high quality of life coexist.
