「京菓子展2024 - 源氏物語」展示会の様子

Kyogashi is an art completed by deeply understanding the “story” hidden inside of the confectionery.

Kyoto confectionery, so-called “Kyogashi”, has a unique design,
which corresponds with the place, occasion or the receiver. These are “Palm-sized nature” crystallized by craftsmanship into
“small sculptures weighing only 50 grams”.
The eater tries to read and understand the “story” hidden inside of the Kyogashi.
Only after receiving the message from the creator, they can enjoy the Kyogashi for the first time.

The exhibition features the selection of Kyogashi confectionery works.

This year's theme is the Tale of Genji.

Please enjoy the experience of feeling the sensitivity over a thousand years ago through the “story” hidden behind the confectionery.
