Namaste Japan Fest 2023 returns to Delhi to spread Japanese art and culture

FUKUOKA (JAPAN): The epitome of Indo-Japanese cultural exchange and friendship – the annual Namaste Japan Fest is going to return with a bang, the fifth year in a row. Being organized at the Garden of Five Senses in Saket, New Delhi on February 25 by the Fukuoka-based Namaste Japan Fest Executive Committee, the artists from Japan participate in it to promote Japanese art and culture in India.

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. Tree plantation in individual names would be an added feature this time.

Asian Community News (ACN) Network has been continuously supporting this event, by the way of promoting it with its continuous reportage in the Asia-Pacific region. ACN has been Media Partner with Namaste Japan Fest for the last three terms i.e. 2020, 2021, and 2022 also.

“We and our team of Japanese and Indians have been organizing Namaste Japan Fest in New Delhi for the last four years very successfully, and received a huge response and support from both the people. But due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we organized this event on virtual platforms in 2021 and 2022, and it was streamed live from Fukuoka on various social media platforms across Japan, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and other countries as well,” said Dharmendra Kumar, Chairman, Namaste Japan Fest Executive Committee.

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.
