Dubai Expo 2020 Japan Day

We introduced Japanese traditional arts and culture at the Dubai Expo 2020 Japan Day!

Jubilee Stage

Just a big stage!

Aside from the size of the stage, the sharpness of the images projected on the wide screen and the quality of the sound are amazing.

This photo was taken from the Media space in the center of the seating area.

This is where the stage cameras are set up, so the view is excellent.

I took this photo in the morning and this one in the afternoon. The stage looks completely different as it depends on the time of the day.

Ikebana, a beautiful flower arrangement

We even had a group of ikebana (flower arrangements) artists who helped us with decorating the stage using vibrant, big ikebana arrangements!

We had two performances at the Jubilee Stage!

Sights and Sounds of Japan: Music, Dance and Flower Arrangement

Presented by Tomoe-kai and ACA

The first one was a performance of koto, viola and cajon introducing beautiful sounds and Japanese dances with flower arrangements decorated the stage.

The koto (箏) is a Japanese plucked half-tube zither instrument, and the national instrument of Japan. (…) The most common type uses 13 strings strung over movable bridges used for tuning, different pieces possibly requiring different tuning.

The second one was a fashion show introducing kimono, a traditional Japanese garment. There are a lot of different types of kimono according to a specific traditional event so you can enjoy changing accessories and styles.

All the stages were a great success!
