From @sieboldhuis #OBON #お盆 The Bon festival

From @sieboldhuis #OBON #お盆 The Bon festival or Obon #matsuri is the #Japanese festival of the #dead 💀. This three-day festival has its roots in the #Buddhism and is celebrated annually around August 15. It's a real #family festival. Many people take or are given time off, and go back to their parental home to pray for their #ancestors together. They do this by, for example, going to the cemetery together and cleaning the graves. They also place various foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, on the Buddhist altar (#butsudan) in the house for their ancestors to enjoy. According to legend, the spirits of the deceased can come to earth during Obon to visit their living family. Nice detail: before Obon starts, some families leave a cucumber horse🥒 and an eggplant cow🍆 with a bowl of incense at the front door. The spirits of the ancestors would then ride around on these vegetable bugs! At the end of Obon, small paper lanterns are placed on the river where the lanterns, and with them the spirits of the ancestors, float away again. This is called #toronagashi🏮. Besides the family activities, dancing is an important part of the celebration of the Bon festival. In fact, the Awa Dance (#awaodori) Festival in Tokushima in Shikoku is the biggest dance festival of the year! #JACCU

Natsumatsurietje took place in Japanse Tuin, Utrec

Natsumatsurietje took place in Japanse Tuin, Utrecht last Saturday. We enjoyed the stories of @Terrastoryteller, papermaking with Yuriko Miyoshi @hanga_land, and we made wishes with #tanabata cards @HirokoMatsushita made. Families and old friends came together, children played together and we had very nice conversations. There were 34 people (27 adults and 7 children) and 2/3 of them were Japanese. We are proud to facilitate an event for Japanese people to come together and get to know each other. But there were also many Dutch and expat people as well, so it was an international community. We gained new followers too! Thanks everyone for sharing a good time!

From @ingridih23
The opening ceremony of the Olympics was impressive. No Japanese stereotypes were staged, the pandemic was addressed, the athletes were introduced, and #NaomiOsaka lit the Olympic fire. All without audience. Proud of Japan, and at the same time I feel sad for the people of Japan as the majority didn't want the #TokyoOlympics to take place at all.
Daily life in #Tokyo goes on, while in a different dimension the #olympics take place. #Japan #Japantravel #Japanlover

何が違う / Wat is het verschil Aanstaande even

何が違う / Wat is het verschil
Aanstaande evenement! Linkinbio👆 Wij organiseren een kleinschalig evenement om het onderwerp #Gastvrijheid en #vrienden maken nader onder de loep te nemen. Het doel is om een groepje van #Japanners en #Nederlanders bij elkaar te krijgen die in #Nederland wonen en die bereid zijn om hun mening en ervaringen te delen in een informele sfeer. Hebben Japanners en Nederlanders verschillende verwachtingen en gewoontes in de sociale omgang? Zijn er (veel) drempels te overwinnen als we elkaar leren kennen? Zijn er ook overeenkomsten? We zullen dit soort vragen aankaarten, en hopen erop dat de deelnemers zelf ook wat vragen aanleveren! De presentie is in handen van Misae Endo van @jwc_japanwomensclub en Nike van Heeswijk van `Japanse Conversatieclub` en `Nederlandse Conversatieclub` ! Datum: wo 14 juli 2021
Tijd: 20:00-21:00
