Last night our dear photographer, artist and frien

Last night our dear photographer, artist and friend Maan Limburg had her own exhibition opening The Lost World. Did you know that 13.6% of Japanese buildings are abandoned? Maan Limburg came across a lot of these buildings on her travels, where there were still closets full of clothes, just ironed even though no one has been there in years. She photographed them and decided to put them together in a photo book and a multidisciplinary exhibition that inaugurated last night. The art show opens to the public this coming Wednesday, May 18, and runs until July 4th, at the Pingpongclub Utrecht, visiting times are Wed - Sun, by appointment here https://www.thelostworld.online/exhibition/. With the precious help from crowdfunding, several foundations, Gemeente Utrecht, which is her home base, and her team, The Lost World was realised; a beautiful book of 176 pages with wonderful additions by best-selling author Liza Dalby and Japanologist J. Smit. You can order the book on her website if you want, as easy as that! But you can also see and purchase it in our upcoming event on the 4th June! And, we have interviewed Maan Limburg before, so you can find our interesting talk on our website!

Golden Week in Japan comes to an end today in the

Golden Week in Japan comes to an end today in the most fun way, a celebration of kids on Children’s Day! Until 1948, this day was known as Boy’s Day, which celebrated sons and fathers as a counterpart to Hinamatsuri or Girl’s Day on 3 March. Since then, the name was changed to Children’s Day to include both sons and daughters. Every year on 5 May, children’s personalities and happiness is recognized and appreciated in many ways. Families raise special carp-shaped flags called Koinobori to represent the parents and the number of children in the family, with different colors representing the ages of the children. Families may also display samurai dolls, similar to how Hinamatsuri is celebrated. Elementary school children learn how to fold paper into the shape of samurai helmets known as kabuto which they can wear in celebration. Kashiwa mochi, sticky rice cake filled with red bean jam and wrapped in an oak leaf, is typically served on this day. Stay tuned for what JACCU is planning for the Children Play on 4 June! #JACCU

Do you enjoy spending time in nature? In Japan, 4

Do you enjoy spending time in nature? In Japan, 4 May is dedicated to just that! Known as みどりの日 (Midori no hi), this day was originally chosen to celebrate the birthday of the Shōwa Emperor Hirohito whose love for plants was known by the public. Nowadays, it is a day to commune with nature and contemplate our blessings during Golden Week. Japanese gardens are designed to highlight the most serene and peaceful sides of nature. Along with Hanami, springtime in Japan inspires us to get in touch with the outdoors and enjoy the greenery! #JACCU

As Golden Week goes on, it’s time to open our hi

As Golden Week goes on, it’s time to open our history books! 3 May marks Constitutional Memorial Day in Japan. The constitution of Japan, which was drafted in cooperation with the United States forces after WWII, was enacted on this day in 1947. It is a day to reflect on the past and Japan’s recent history. In fact, every year, the National Diet in Tokyo is open to the public for tours of the building on Constitutional Memorial Day! #JACCU
