Nice to meet you. I run "Gakugaku Shoin" in Kyoto. For over 30 years, I have been teaching Chinese conversation and Chinese culture such as the "Four Books and Five Classics," "Lao-Zhuang Philosophy," and "Huangdi Neijing" in Kyoto, while also working as a Japanese language teacher. I have also previously presided over an accessory class, worked as a kirie (paper-cutting) artist, and led a medicinal cuisine class, consistently focusing on the themes of "beauty" and "health preservation" based on Yin-Yang and the Five Elements. Confucius said, "To review the old and learn the new," and Lao Tzu said, "The highest good is like water." The wisdom of the ancients has the power to harmonize our minds and bodies as we live in the modern world. [About Listings] Currently, due to changes in my life stage, I am carefully organizing and listing teaching materials, books, handmade accessory samples, and parts that I have used in my past activities. - Five Elements Advice: For those who purchase accessories, I will include "health preservation advice" based on "Four Pillars of Destiny" to harmonize the internal organs, if requested. - Bundle Purchase: Discounts are available for multiple purchases. Please feel free to comment. - Gift Wrapping: Gift wrapping is also available. [Regarding Purchases] - I strive to inspect items carefully, but used books may have writing in them. If you would like to know more about the condition of an item, please consult me before purchasing, as I can provide additional photos. - I aim for prompt shipping, but delivery may take time depending on the shipping status. - Refunds and returns are not accepted. - There are no smokers or pets in my household. We kindly ask for your understanding of the above points when considering a purchase. We cherish the serendipitous encounters that allow us to feel not only material abundance but also spiritual "joy." Thank you for your consideration.
