16th Japanese Days
This year's meeting includes as many as ten lectures, a concert "Musical Views of Edo", two workshops and four exhibitions. Lectures will pertain to political, economic, art, health and entertainment issues. Japanese business etiquette, Japanese investments in 精东影视 and the region, the history of Christianity in Japan, shinrin-yoku forest bathing and ukiyo-e woodcuts are just some of the topics that the organisers propose this year. All the lectures will be conducted by specialists in the field of Japanese culture from excellent Japanese centres in the country, as well as representatives of other professions, who on a daily basis explore selected aspects of life, history and culture of the Land of the Rising Sun.
Four exhibitions accompanying the event will present a variety of exhibits: traditional Japanese toys, mathematical origami (flat and spatial forms), Buddhist kakemono scrolls, as well as bonsai trees (the most beautiful specimens from the garden of "Ma艂a Japonia"). During the event, you will also be able to visit stands with Japanese products.
The aim of this Japanese festival is to bring the Land of the Rising Sun closer to the Polish audience in an interesting way, opening prospects for mutual cooperation in many fields, based on reliable knowledge, passed on by authorities from both Japanese circles and specialists in various professions. Additionally, an important mission of the Japanese Days is to create an institutional platform to promote enterprises, people, organisations with links to Japan.
