The experiential meeting was held at the venue of Tsukuba city of the International Conference "World Lake Conference" considering environmental problems, and overseas researchers and others experienced the dressing of kimonos.

"Yuki Tsumugi" is a traditional silk fabric produced mainly in Yuki City, Ibaraki Prefecture and Oyama City, Tochigi Prefecture, and is also registered as UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage.

At the venue volunteers helped clothes, the textiles were hand-made by craftsmen in half a year, and they explained lightly and warm things in English.

Matcha and Japanese sweets also acted at the venue, and the participants were familiar with Japanese culture.

The researcher who visited from the Philippines said, "I knew kimono, but I knew" Yuuki Tsumugi "for the first time, I was light and comfortable and valuable experience was able to be done".

Toshiaki Kawazoe, manager of the Yuki City Commerce and Tourism Division, said, "I think that it is a good opportunity for overseas people to know about Yuuki City, I would like you to visit the city and take a walk around the city." It was.
