Shade that creates the shade of a tree

There are a wide variety of cool-looking sweets for both adults and children, including the ever-popular shaved ice and parfaits!
Why don't you take a break with refreshing sweets?
Mission Roppongi Uchimizu
"Uchimizu" will be held for the first time in five years on the "Taishonohi (very hot day)" of the 24 seasons, which is said to be the hottest day of the year. Uchimizu, which was popularized in the Edo period, is a wisdom of life that alleviates the heat by sprinkling water on the road surfaces and in the gardens. As water evaporates, it removes heat from the ground, so it helps to prevent heat island effects. Why don't you feel "cool" together through the old-fashioned customs at dusk?
【Dates】 | July 22, 2024 (Mon.): Taishonohi (very hot day) *Canceled in rain and rough weather |

●Let's make a wooden money box
When making a furniture, there is inevitably some wood left over. Small and thin wood is not enough to make furniture and unfortunately can be thrown away. Why don't you make your original money box using such leftover wood? It is a small but magnificent piece of wood. The grain of the wood shines beautifully when coated with furniture oil. We hope you will use it for your free research and craftwork during the summer vacation.
