【Workshop(s)】Forged Silver White Chrysanthemum Accessory Metalworking Ceremony 1-on-1 Instruction

As the Qingming festival approaches, reflecting on news regarding ancestral worship leads me to explore my personal views on life and death once again. Tsuchion centers its metalworking ceremony on the act of offering flowers during Qingming ancestral worship. In local customs, the chrysanthemum is used in funeral settings; as one of the Four Gentlemen of flowers, the chrysanthemum symbolizes longevity and nobility, representing the respect and longing of the living for the departed. In this ceremony, participants will be guided through the process of hammering and shaping individual petals to bring out the elegant and gentle luster of the chrysanthemum. The workshop lasts approximately 3 hours and includes refreshments. After a life departs, every stick of incense and every flower offered each year carries our longing. As memories slowly settle with time, let sighs fade away into the passing years. What more can we do for them? Here, we are with you, starting from scratch, channeling emotions through heart and hand, recalling the past, processing feelings, expressing blessings, and feeling life, healing each other's life journey. 【What You Will Gain】 1.
