Report: Japanese Traditional Culture Experience Workshop

A workshop featuring three traditional Japanese cultural practices—tea ceremony, flower arrangement, and calligraphy—was held at our Osaka office.

A "Traditional Japanese Culture Experience Workshop" was held at the Osaka office on 9/28, attended by approximately 80 international students and foreign residents from the Asia-Pacific region.

The workshop featured hands-on experiences in three traditional Japanese arts: tea ceremony (Urasenke), flower arranging (Ikenobo), and calligraphy. Under the careful guidance of instructors from each field, participants enjoyed a valuable opportunity to explore the depth of Japanese culture.

Participants shared feedback such as, "It was a wonderful opportunity to directly experience traditional Japanese culture," and "I discovered commonalities and differences between our cultures."
