KazNU Japanese Studies Students Participate in Japan Culture Day

On October 3, 2026, Japan Culture Day was held at Narxoz University in Almaty, introducing visitors to Japanese traditions and arts. The program featured shamisen music performances, Japanese dances, and workshops on origami, ikebana, calligraphy, and furoshiki. 

Visitors also attended aikido and kendo demonstrations and had the opportunity to try on traditional Japanese clothing. Information booths represented Japanese trading companies, Hakuzo Medical, Panasonic, Air Astana, and other organizations.

Japanese Studies students from Al-Farabi Kazakh National University participated in the event as volunteers. They assisted in organizing the kimono try-on area, introduced visitors to traditional Japanese clothing, and helped guests put on kimono.

The event provided a platform for cultural exchange between Kazakhstan and Japan.
