Japan week in Poznan

Poznan as one of the student's cities in Poland, is working overtime to give them a lot of fun. Last week was a Japanese festival. This event lasted from Saturday(19.10) to Thursday(24.10). Every evening We could watch the Japanese movies (only for 1 PLN) such as Rashomon of Akira Kurosawa, The Ballad of Narayama of Shohei Imamura, My Neighbor Totoro of Hayao Miyazaki (it was kawaii :)), Departures of Yojiro Takita (the best movie for me), Jiro Dreams of Sushi, documentary movie directed by David Gelb and Zatoichi of Takeshi Kitano. From Saturday to Monday the artists from Japan gave shows on the stage (Japanese swordsmanship, traditional dances, drumming, art establishment a kimono). Moreover, every one could participate in workshops on calligraphy and origami for FREE!!! One of the busiest events was the tea ceremony, of course I participated in it and I was the happiest person on earth that I did it :) 

If I compare the organization of the festival in Poznan and Torun, I can tell You that Poznan wins!

Anime

Hello everyone :)

I created this blog to share with you my passion for Japanease culture. Why Japan ? I think it's easy, because this country is as far away that can fascinate :)

My fascination of this country started from watching anime. When I saw Naruto, I began to look for others, and I can not stop until now :P

For this moment I watch Hetalia Axis Powers which I recommend to your attention. It's anime based on the manga (the comic book). The action focuses on the history of the War World II. The heroes are the countries which are presented in a fun way. Each behaves like a stereotypical member of a country. Italy says all the time about pasta, Germany has a beautiful Aryan looks, Japan is polite and mysterious, and France thinks only about love.
