Japanese Arts & Culture from the Centre of Utrecht
The Japan Fans dream, about starting their own Japanese Art & Culture Centre in Utrecht, and about travelling to Japan, amongst other to visit the hot springs. In this blog, Japan Fan Zoe explains us more about Japanese Jacuzzi: Sentō vs Onsen.
Are you new to The Netherlands? Need an expert to show you the ropes? Nicki is here to help! The president of the Japan Fans foundation offers guided tours in the Netherlands.
The Japan Fans organise all kinds of concerts – both virtual and live – and also make Japanese music at other Japanese events in the Netherlands. One of the areas we are currently exploring is Japanese folksongs on piano.
Our dream is to have our own centre for Japanese art in Utrecht, but until then, we present you our favourite Japanese artists through our website. In this fourth virtual exhibition of Japan Fans Utrecht, we love to introduce you to the Japanese calligraphy by LANKA.
For the project “The Spirit of Kanji“, we interviewed Utrechters of Asian descent. One of those people was Toshio and you can read his interview below: Being a bisexual Japanese at home in Utrecht. The artwork will also be on display at the Japan Fans exhibition in ACU.
Perhaps you had already come across them here & there in Utrecht? They hang, lie and stand in community centres, libraries and cafés, among other places: the results of our artistic research “The Spirit of Kanji“. From 1 October, we will exhibit more of our Japanese arts in ACU Utrecht.
Of course, the Japan Fans study group was super happy when the Enishi team sent them a matcha box out of the blue as a surprise! Take a quick look at what we all got in this Enishi Matcha Box Unboxing!
In this blogpost, the Japan Fans show you how to create Asian Fusion Food. Easy, healthy and veg(etari)an pan-Asian cuisine. Enjoy!
While surfing the web for some inspiration for the music in our Japanese cultural centre, we stumbled upon the works of City Pop DJ Van Paugam.
