The WABI SABI area
With 60 craftsmen, the arts and craft exhibit brings together 50 booths displaying calligraphy works, traditional dolls, ceramics, and so many more fascinating items.
Bearing the colors of Japanese summer, the booth will immerse you in a Japanese atmosphere thanks to the decoration realized by the group KIRIE.
The theme
This year, Japan Expo is opening on July 7, the day of Tanabata, the Star Festival in Japan. That’s why the name chosen for the WABI SABI area is “wishes”. Come and hang up your good wishes on bamboo leaves. You can write on those papers all your dreams, prayers for peace or good health.
Moreover, there will be a place for Kumamoto victims with special tanzaku (wishes written on papers) with Kumamon. Write your best wishes to support Kumamoto victims.
