Travel to the Land of the Rising Sun with one of the season’s best events
The aim of Japan Expo is to promote Japanese culture in a fun, interactive way. It’s a journey full of discoveries that explores traditional Japanese culture and popular culture. You’ll find manga publishers, video game producers, anime, young designers inspired by all things Japanese, lots of boutiques and more than 150 fanzines among the many exhibitors. Several artists and designers who are part of the Japanese scene have been confirmed for this year’s edition including Umi Kuun and Redjuice. You’ll have the chance to meet the artists as well as the opportunity to buy manga, costumes, katanas and video games. You can attend meetings and conferences or even plan a holiday in Japan at this exciting show. Other activities like concerts, video game tournaments and martial arts exhibitions are also planned – perhaps this explains the 240,000 annual visitors!
