Japanese Culture and Sports Workshop at Bon Odori Johor 2024

2024/7/23
On July 20th and 21st, in co-organization with JAGAM and in collaboration with Kentoku Budokan, the Embassy of Japan in Malaysia held “Japanese Culture and Sports Workshop at Bon Odori Johor 2024” .
 
 For this event, we arranged a demonstration of Aikido, as well as set up an exhibition booth to introduce Japanese traditional culture.
 
During the aikido demonstration, the audience had a chance to watch a series of dynamic aikido techniques performed one after another. At the exhibition booth, visitors experienced the charm of Japanese culture from various aspects through  trying on yukata and happi, playing with traditional toys including kendama and ring toss, as well as writing their wishes on tanzaku strips of paper displayed on Tanabata decorations.
 
Our heartfelt thank you to everyone who stopped by. It was an absolute pleasure interacting with everyone. We hope all of you had a memorable experience of Japanese traditional culture and sports.
