"KOU-DOU" is known as one of the Japanese traditional arts like "SADO (the art of tea celemory)" and "KADO (the art of flower arrangement)".
" KOU-DOU " used to be a popular game for identifying incense by its fragrance.
As we do with wines or sakes, people used to "taste" and "listen" to its smell.

Since "KOU-DOU" is about scent, you may think it is girly stuff to do.
However, it's not true!
Actually, it used to be a traditional entertainment for famuous worriors like Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Ieyasu Tokugawa and much other men!

Don`t you want to enjoy the Japanese tradition and the Japanese language by using your sense of smell?
After the class, let's talk together a while, having Japanese tea and dessert!

What is "ECO"????

We suppose, maybe we can learn it by "feeling" it, rather than "thinking".
"OMO-ECO" department at Shibuya University provides you some Experience-based classes to feel and learn about "ECO".

For this time, the theme is about "City and ECO".
Omotesando has been trimmed as an approach to Meiji-Jingu(Shrine).
Do you know that the long avenue with zelkova is famous among the world of its challenging work as an "ECO-avenue"?

Omotesando zelkova avenue, used to have illumination lights every winter in the '90s. Though it was very popular that hundreds of people visited every year, at the same time it had many bad effects: such as garbage problems, traffic jam, security deterioration and also bad effects for trees. And finally, the event was called off at 1998.

And this year, Omotesando Illumination is finally coming back after this 11 years!!!!

For this event, Ruki Matsumoto, Vice president of Harajuku Omotesando Keyaki Organization, will give you a lecture & a talk session of "history, today, and the future about Omotesando".

Let's learn, and walk around Omotesando together, and meet the moment of the light up!
