Kohgen 2017

Launched in 2011, this annual event stages a boatload of workshops related to traditional Japanese culture and religion, including classes for calligraphy and zazen meditation, talks on the meaning of life and a workshop during which you're encouraged to imagine what your final days on this earth might be like, plus performances ranging from electronic music to sutra recitation. Note that Saturday will see events only at Shogakuji temple in Nakameguro, while the action moves to Zojoji, Ikegami Honmonji, Kawasaki Daishi and Yokohama's Sojiji for Sunday.
