During the festival, the popular Frankfurt restaurant Ramen Jun will move into the Café of the Künstlerhaus Mousonturm. From 23 to 28.5. you can enjoy delicious Japanese ramen soups there. Those in need of a little relaxation in between should stop by the radio gymnastics (Rajio Taiso) or treat themselves to a shiatsu massage.
The workshop offerings range from Kyusho Jitsu, the knowledge of the body's vital points, sword dancing, Japanese needle felting to the making of traditional Noh masks. Woodcarving artist Hideta KITAZAWA, who is travelling specially from Japan for the festival, will give an insight into the variety of mysterious Noh masks and their significance in traditional Japanese theatre. Renowned Japanese dancer Sachimaine HANAYAGI will present the traditional dance Nihon Buyo in a workshop and performance.

In her sculptural works, Japanese artist Nolico TAKI explores the question of what psychological effects architecture can exert on people. Her starting thesis here is that architecture controls the way people interact and move in space. Directly and indirectly, architecture thus shapes a person's character and personality.
