    As a tourist in Japan, what do you not notice at first glance? There's a lot of it.

For example, why you can't find trash cans on Japanese streets (and where they really are), why locals have been wearing masks for decades, how the environment is prepared for the blind, or if the Japanese are really as progressive as they say they are. Lecture by blogger, Japanophile and traveler Dan Šácha.

  • Manga passes through the stomach

    -

    Contemporary Japanese comics, or manga, underwent significant development in the second half of the 20th century, as a result of which it achieved unprecedented artistic and genre diversity. This development largely culminated in the 1980s, when Japan was experiencing relatively prosperous years and a great development of domestic tourism and gastronomy. In addition to a large number of new cookbooks, food magazines, and guides to Japanese restaurants, a whole new comic genre called gurume manga, or gourmet comics, emerged at the time. His main heroes have become chefs, restaurant operators or simple gourmands, but above all excellent food and the experiences associated with it - and in some cases also merciless social criticism. Lecture by Anna Křivánková, a Japanologist, translator and columnist.

    -

    Shibori is a Japanese term for various ways of decorating textiles by shaping the fabric before dyeing. The word comes from the word "shiboru", which means "pushing", "twisting", but it can also be translated as "shaped resistant dyeing". This dyeing technique was originally the art of the poor. In feudal Japan, many people could not afford to buy expensive fabrics such as cotton or silk, so clothes were often made from cheap hemp fabrics. At the same time, people could not afford to regularly replace worn clothes with new ones, so the art of Shibori developed as a means to help restore these old clothes. The 17th century saw the flourishing of various arts in Japan, and many different techniques and local forms of Shibori also appeared.

    -

    In 2013, Japanese traditional cuisine (washoku), of which sake is undoubtedly an integral part, was included in the list of intangible cultural heritage of UNESCO. However, sake is not only a delicious drink that complements and enhances the delicate taste of Japanese dishes. It is also a cultural phenomenon that tells colorfully about various aspects of the life of Japanese society from the earliest times to the present day. During the lecture, the listeners will not only learn about the cultural traditions inseparably connected with sake, but will also have the opportunity to get an insight into the secrets of production technology, the method of evaluation and the culture of drinking this drink, which is increasingly popular in our country. Our special guest Jan Sýkora talks about all this.

How will this honeymoon turn out in the end? How much CZK is the low-cost trip?
