“The two countries share so much in common, but there is so much unknown, that we (Indians) do not relate to Japan beyond cars or electronics. Through the Cool Japan Festival we want to change this image and create more awareness about the beautiful things Japan can offer,” says Anuj Jodhani, director, Maido Enterprises Pvt. Ltd, organiser of the event.
This season will see new cultural performances like Awaodori (traditional Japanese dance), J-Pop (Japanese Pop) and a small green
tea ceremony.
