Japanese Festival at SWPS University – from manga and cosplay to business and diplomacy

Japanese Festival at SWPS University – from manga and cosplay to business and diplomacy

Are you intrigued by traditional Japanese culture and would like to listen to a live koto concert? Do you have a passion for Japanese pop culture? Or perhaps you would like to learn more about the Polish–Japanese business relationships? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, come to our Japanese Festival, which will be held on the last Saturday of June.

June 25, 2022
10.00–17.00
Warsaw
Registration form

Meeting for enthusiasts of Japan

SWPS University first began to offer classes on East Asia in 1998. Since that time, the program has been enjoying a growing popularity among students and new university candidates.

The SWPS University Japanese Festival is organized by the Faculty of Humanities in Warsaw and the Asian Studies Research Club, affiliated with the Department of Asian Studies.

The event's program includes lectures on the history of Polish-Japanese relations and the impact of AI technologies on Japanese society. Musicians, dancers, and manga translators will introduce different and fascinating aspects of Japanese culture. You will also have a chance to try your hand at origami, put together a Japanese-style lunch, and demonstrate your chopsticks skills.

Admission to the Japan Festival is free of charge and open to everyone. If you plan to attend, please sign up through the registration form. Two lectures will be delivered in English, while the rest of the event will be held in Polish.

The event is held under the auspices of Strefa Kultur (Culture Zone) of SWPS University.

Cosplay: pop culture characters come to life

A cosplay presentation will be one of the festival’s highlights. Cosplay (a portmanteau of the words 'costume play') is a performance art in which participants dress up as film, game, comic book or graphic novel characters. Cosplayers painstakingly recreate costumes of their favorite characters, often working for days or weeks on a project.

If you would like to present your costume during our Japanese Festival, fill in the registration form.

SWPS University Japanese Festival Program

  1. Opening of the Japanese Festival

    10:00

    Dean of the Faculty of Humanities in Warsaw, Marcin Jacoby, Ph.D. / Associate Professor and Olga Barbasiewicz,Ph.D.

  2. Today’s world and Japan–Poland relations – lecture in English

    10:15

    Ambassador of Japan, Miyajima Akio

  3. Japan and Society 5.0 – lecture in English, streamed online from Japan

    11:00

    When Japan hosted the G20 summit in 2019, the Prime Minister Shinzo Abe promoted a new course for the country – toward Society 5.0. It was boldly defined as a new model of governance and economy that fully incorporates technological innovations of the fourth industrial revolution. In this vision, digital innovations are supposed to propel Japanese society into the new Golden Age, "in which all people can receive high-quality services and live a comfortable, vigorous life." On the way to a brighter future, technology will also help to tackle various societal problems, from aging population to global warming. This vision alone has spurred an influx of unprecedented increase in direct foreign investments in Japan and market growth. But will AI be able to fulfill the expectations, or is Japan facing another speculative bubble? And what would such transformation mean for Japan and the outside world?

    Anna Bogdanova
    Anna Bogdanova
    Ph.D.

    Is an Assistant Professor at the College of Information Science at the University of Tsukuba in Japan. Ukrainian born, she has been living in Japan since 2012. Over the years, her career path has led her from Japanese Language and Cultural Studies to Information Science and research in Artificial Intelligence. Her participatory observation of Japanese society, as it was rethinking itself into super-smart Society 5.0 and its hype around AI technology, has provided the material for this lecture.

  4. Polish–Japanese Relations: Yesterday and Today

    11:45

    In her lecture, Olga Barbasiewicz, Ph.D., will present the most important and most interesting facts from the 100-year history of Polish–Japanese relations. She will describe the first intercontinental flight to Japan and discuss the escape of the Polish ambassador to the United States in the 1980s. She will also tell the story of a Japanese man who tried to commit seppuku on the stairs of the Polish Embassy in Tokyo in 1939, after he had been denied service in the Polish army.

    Katarzyna Karpowicz is a Japanologist who learned to play koto during her many stays in Japan. She performs music in the style of two schools (Ikuta-ryū and Yamada-ryū) where she studied under the guidance of Michiyo Yagi and Shumihō Ōzaki.

  9. Performance by Sakuramai Poland

    16:30

    "Dokkoisho, dokkoisho! Soran, soran!" These calls accompanied by Japanese music can only mean one thing – Sakuramai Poland have started their performance. This Polish-Japanese dance group popularizes yosakoi – a dance full of joy and energy, which originated in the city of Kochi. It combines traditional and contemporary elements of Japanese dance. The synchronized movements of the dancers make their show captivating. More information about Sakuramai Poland is available on the group’s social media: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.
