2025/5/14
On Saturday, 10 May, the Mission of Japan to the European Union took part in the annual EU Open Day held at the European External Action Service (EEAS). Visitors of all ages were welcomed to experience a taste of Japanese culture through a variety of interactive activities.
Guests had the opportunity to join both a manga drawing workshop and an origami workshop. A live ikebana demonstration – the traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement – also offered an insight into Japan’s cultural heritage.
Throughout the day, visitors could explore EXPO 2025 Osaka in a virtual environment using VR headsets, providing an immersive preview of its many national pavilions. Thanks to a live video connection, attendees were also able to greet and exchange smiles with visitors at the EU Pavilion in Osaka.
The Mission was delighted to contribute to this celebration of cultural exchange and mutual understanding between Japan and the European Union.
