Private Experiences

The Kanze School traces its lineage back over 600 years to Kan’ami and Zeami, the founders and great masters who shaped Noh into the refined art form it is today. As the largest and most influential of the five major Noh schools, the Kanze School stands at the heart of Japan’s Noh tradition.
This private lesson is conducted by Hiromichi Tamoi, a Kanze School shite (lead actor) and a holder of the Important Intangible Cultural Property designation for Noh theatre.
With the Noh theater reserved exclusively for your group, you will gain rare insight into Noh through engaging stories, hands-on instruction in suri-ashi, and an up-close encounter with Noh masks—an exceptional cultural experience that reveals the very essence of Kyoto, available only through Shikikaboku.

In a small group setting, he will lead a practical session where each guest creates a piece inspired by their time in Kyoto.

The session concludes with matcha served in one of Mr Kawai’s own tea bowls. Each guest also receives a finished piece from the studio’s collection to take home on the day. If desired, the guest’s own creation can be mailed after firing.

To prepare, guests are encouraged to take a bath before the therapist arrives, helping to warm the body and support the effectiveness of the treatment. Each session is tailored to individual needs, drawing from two treatment methods based on the guest’s condition.

Fulvic Acid Jojoba Oil Treatment
This option uses mineral-rich fulvic acid blended with jojoba oil. The therapist uses targeted hand techniques to support circulation and release tension. The fulvic acid aids mineral absorption and detoxification, helping to relieve swelling and stiffness in key areas.

Fir & Stretch
This oil-free treatment combines muscle pressure and assisted stretching. It is suitable for guests seeking to release deeper physical fatigue or improve mobility.
