Kanazawa has two rivers, Saigawa-river and Asanogawa-river. Saigawa-river as known as Otoko(man) river. Asanogawa-river as known as On-na(woman) river. This trip is about the most famous culture in Kanazawa, *Kagayuzen.
*Kagayuzen
It is the technique of hand dyeing. It was developed around 300years ago in Kaga(south part of Ishikawa prefecture).

Asanogawa-river slowly flows by Higashi Chaya District. People did *Yuzen Nagashi often back in the days.
