This Saturday, 22 June, the Matsuri Japanese Culture Picnic will be held on the grounds of the Służew Cultural Centre. This unique event is an excellent opportunity to explore both the traditions of Japan as well as the contemporary aspects of its culture. Guests will enjoy a range of attractions provided by the organisers and partners, including a large-scale Jenga game prepared by the Japanese construction company, Kajima Poland.
The Matsuri Japanese Culture Picnic 2024 will take place on June 22 at the Służew Cultural Centre, ul. J.S. Bacha 15, Warsaw. This free-admission event, organised since 2013 by the Embassy of Japan in Poland, the SHOKOKAI Employers’ Association, and the Japan Club in Poland with support from partners and sponsors, has generated significant interest and overwhelmingly positive responses for over a decade. Visitors can look forward to attractions related to both ancient and modern Japan, including stage performances by Japanese and Polish artists, martial arts demonstrations, cultural workshops, and various food and trade stalls.
Kajima Poland, a general contracting company of Japanese origin, has also prepared attractions for this year’s event. At booth number F11, visitors will be able to participate in three stands of a large-scale version of Jenga, a popular and enjoyable game designed for all ages. Additionally, guests will receive small company gadgets and participation prizes. Kajima Poland employees present on-site will be available to discuss the company and its activities.
“We have been engaged in the Matsuri Japanese Culture Picnic since 2014. Our involvement in this event stems from the Japanese DNA of the Kajima brand and the desire to emphasize its Japanese roots. We also aim to support and deepen the relationship between Poland and Japan through cultural exchange. We have witnessed the growing popularity of the event each year. This is an important platform for us to reach out to Japanese culture enthusiasts as well as those simply seeking an enjoyable leisure activity. Our games and activities at the booths have been particularly popular, especially among the youngest visitors. We warmly welcome everyone to join us,” says Sandra Wróblewska, Senior Business Development Manager at Kajima Poland.
The Matsuri Japanese Culture Picnic 2024 will be held on 22 June from 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Admission is free.
