Japan not only fascinates with art forms that have been developed and constantly refined over many centuries. Young people in particular are enthusiastic about everyday and popular culture from Japan, e.g. Japanese comics (manga), cartoons (anime) and movies in general. However, Japanese cuisine, kimono and other facets of Japanese fashion, sports and games are also enjoying increasing popularity.
You can experience some of these aspects from time to time in the EKŌ Center.
