The latest images of reconstruction in Fukushima Prefecture, devastated by the 2011 Japan tsunami, will be featured at the Fukushima festival in Hanoi from November 2-3.
The event, entitled ‘Bridging Vietnam-Fukushima Friendship’ is jointly organised by the Fukushima’s Japan-Vietnam Friendship Association and the Vietnam Women’s Museum to mark the 40th anniversary of Vietnam-Japan diplomatic relations and the 23rd anniversary of ties between Vietnam and the Fukushima Friendship Association.
According to the organisers, the event aims to show Fukushima’s gratitude for the spiritual and material support given by the Vietnamese people when the region was hit by the tsunami of 2011. The festival will feature images depicting landmarks in the diplomatic relations between Fukushima and Vietnam and recent reconstruction efforts in Fukushima Prefecture.
Stalls will be set up to introduce visitors to elements of Japanese culture, such as tea ceremonies, sake rice wine, Japanese films and ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging. The festival will also spotlight traditional Japanese costumes and folk dance performances by groups from Fukushima.
The activities are scheduled from 10am to 4pm each day at the Vietnam Womens’ Museum; 36 Ly Thuong Kiet street, Hoan Kiem District.
