Koun-do Kodai Kawara Senbei (Ancient Tile Crackers)
A representative confection from the Koun-do main store that lets you hold a thousand years of Ashikaga's history in your hands. These 'Ancient Tile Crackers' are baked using molds based on ancient tiles excavated in Ashikaga, dating from the Nara to Muromachi periods; each cracker is imprinted with historical patterns such as arabesque, ogre tiles (onigawara), and tomoe (comma) tiles. It is a prestigious sweet fitting for Ashikaga, a town of learning. The soft texture and fragrant aroma of the cracker spread gently through your palate. The Koun-do wrapping paper and bookmarks feature works created by Mitsuo Aida, a calligrapher connected to Ashikaga, during his youth, making this an exquisite Ashikaga souvenir that offers enjoyment not just in taste but in its origins. Please savor it slowly with tea while reflecting on the long history of Ashikaga.
