Japan Festival in Sorrento
25/03/2011
Being the third and last year the town will host the event, the Japan Festival, scheduled from 25 to 27 March 2011, will bring out all of the values and customs of the fascinating land of the rising sun in contact with Western civilization. An event, which will without doubt, culturally enrich anyone who decides to participate.
The three days of the festival will be divided upon dances, songs, martial art demonstrations and exhibitions of oriental culture; such as the kodo, the ancient art of playing a drum, the tea ritual ceremony and the discovery of Japanese cuisine.
There will also be presentations where you can learn all about the historic Japanese arts: such as origami, the shodo calligraphy, the ikebana floral and bonsai arts, all in addition to the ceramic works of art, known as togei or tigori, and Japanese wood crafts.
