5th Edition of Namaste Japan Fest 2023 returns to Delhi with a Green Message: Plant Trees
Visitors would have an opportunity to plant a sapling in this popular Garden of Five Senses in Saket to spread the message of clean environment and healthy living.
FUKUOKA (JAPAN): Being organized at the Garden of Five Senses in Saket, New Delhi on February 25 by the Japanese artists coming from Fukuoka, Japan, the 5th Edition of Namaste Japan Fest this time is returning with a special feature. It is offering an opportunity to the visitors to plant tree saplings in this garden as a memorial during the event.
However, the main objective of this annual fest continues to promote Japanese art and culture in India as well as introduce Indian culture to the participating Japanese artists.
“This time, we have added a new feature of a tree sapling plantation in the Garden of Five Senses where we have been organising our event for so many years. The visitors would have an opportunity to plant a sapling in this garden, which is a popular 20-acre park widely known amongst nature lovers across India,” said Dharmendra Kumar, Chairman, Namaste Japan Fest Executive Committee.
The event would have programs around calligraphy, origami, Ikebana, Japanese Kimonos, and Yukata. Other cultural events would include Japanese Drum, Dance, and Songs from both countries.
The Garden of Five Senses in Delhi is a paradise for nature lovers, away from the city centre. It is an amalgamation of natural beauty and man-made art.
It is a park sprawling over 20 acres; built partly on rocky terrain and partly on a plain area. This spectacular park has trees, flowery bushes and other plants including water fountains and pools. Different artworks and sculptures too, are found in the Garden of Five Senses Delhi.
The garden also has a food court and an amphitheatre for cultural programmes. It hosts various other events; the annual flower show is worth seeing.
Situated in Said-Ul-Azaib village, opposite Saket, it is close to the historic heritage area of Mehrauli where one can visit the towering world heritage monument Qutub Minar. One can also find art galleries, designer boutiques, and lavish food joints around.
History of Garden of Five Senses
Garden of Five Senses Mehrauli is designed by Pradeep Sachdeva, an architect from Delhi. The idea was to build a leisure space where people can interact and socialise. The park was developed by Delhi Tourism Transportation Development Corporation, and it took over three years to complete. It was opened in February 2003.
Architecture of Garden of Five Senses
The Garden of Five Senses is divided into several sections.
A plaza with low walls separates this beautiful garden from the main road. The entry gateway has stainless steel birds installed on slate-clad pillars. And the walls are built with sandstones by craftsmen from Rajasthan, in Mughal architectural style. These sculptors also carved the huge elephants of stone, which you see as you enter the garden area.
Asian Community News (ACN) Network continues to support this event, by way of promoting it with its continuous reportage in the Asia-Pacific region. ACN Network has been Media Partner with Namaste Japan Fest consecutively for the four terms i.e. 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023.
In 2019, Namaste Japan Fest was organized for the first time in India in New Delhi in physical mode. Next year in February 2020 in New Delhi, around 10,000 people visited the Namaste Japan Fest 2020 at the Garden of Five Senses to experience the fusion of Japanese and Indian art, culture, language, food, and friendship.
