Kyoto State Guest House through video clips.
The second theme is “Kyo-sashimono” (traditional Kyoto-style woodcraft furniture made without
nails). Students from Kyoto Women’s University will introduce its techniques and charms.

Kyoto State Guest House is open to the public throughout the year.
“Kyo-sashimono” featured in the video can be seen in “Fuji-no-ma”,"Kairou (open covered
bridge)" and “Juraku-no-ma.”
