An Encounter with Green Tea

In the third part of this fresh, unusual series inside the world of Forbidden Kyoto, which outside eyes seldom see, we feature the representative Japanese drink of green tea. It is popular overseas as well but not so many people know about the history and all the different types which emerge from the various production processes. Tea has played an important role in Japanese history and is really far more than just a drink. We learn about Japanese-style hospitality and aesthetics through the eyes of an American potter as he travels through the world of Japanese tea.

Winter Comes to The Geisha

In the fourth part of this fresh, unusual series inside the world of Forbidden Kyoto, which outside eyes seldom see, an American scholar of Oriental Studies observes two rites of the Kyoto winter, Manekiage and the Hanamachi Souken.

Life as a TAYU-DIVA Beyond Geisha

This is the fifth in our popular series of programs taking a fresh, distinctive look at forbidden worlds of Kyoto that can usually only be glimpsed for fleeting moments.

The Essence of KAISEKI Cuisine

The theme of the 6th segment of this series is Kyoto cuisine. Being the potential candidate of the World Heritage, it is continuously evolving by adding modern arrangements to traditions handed down for over 1000 years.
