Japanese mood in Yerevan: next week there will be the days of the Japanese culture in Yerevan, about which
BlogNews had an interview with
the ambassador of Japan in Armenia Eiji Taguchi.
On Monday, November 23, the Japanese writer
Masatsugu Ono, who has received
“Akutagawa” prestigious award for his work “A Prayer 9 years ago”, will
deliver a lecture at
Russian (Slavonic)-Armenian University, which will be succeeded by the dialogue with the Armenian writer Aram Pachyan. The ambassador mentioned that Pachyan was chosen on the advice of the Armenian colleagues.
On November 25, at
Armenian-Japanese “Hikari” cultural center there will take place the concert of the composer-performer Irie Yosuke. “There will be presented the Japanese traditional instrument
shakuhachi. Shakuhachi is a Japanese national instrument, which is much alike the
Armenian duduk, simply it is made from bamboo”, said Eiji Taguchi.
On November 27
at Moscow Cinema there will take place the opening of the 9th Festival of the Japanese films. “In the frameworks of the festival there will be shown 5 movies: entertainment, amateur. One movie is about the pollution of water with mercury. We have tried to choose such films, which will interest both adults and the youth. I think that by means of films it is very easy and truthful to present the culture of a country. I wish this movie screening to contribute the spreading of the Japanese culture in Armenia. I think and I hope that Armenians will be interested in these films”, said the ambassador of Japan in Armenia.
He highlighted the organization of such events not only in Yerevan, but also in other towns of Armenia. On November 30 and December 1, the festival will be held correspondingly in Gyumri and Echmiadzin. There is an intention to organize the festival also in Vanadzor, at the beginning of next year.
