The profession of sutra teacher was born with the introduction of Buddhism in the Nara Period (6^th century). Beginning with the task of writing the teachings of Buddhism, the work of a sutra teacher has changed to binding, restoration and preservation in response to the changing demand of the time. Nowadays, where paper media is changing to digital media, collaboration between traditional and modern technology has created the need for the job of “Kyoji”.

Through this experience, you will both visit a workshop that has also worked on the preservation of cultural properties overseas, as well as part of the restauration of important cultural properties.

Moreover, you will have the opportunity of learning the art of Japanese binding and experience it by yourself by using the traditional Japanese paper, which is an excellent material that will not deteriorate for over 100 years.
