Japan
Festival
On
November 26, at Kathmandu's Tundikhel, I, my sister and my Dad went to a attend
a Japanese Festival. This festival was celebrated on 60th Anniversary
of Japan – Nepal friendship. We could learn many things about Japanese culture
and we had lots of fun.
At
first I and my sister played a small goldfish fishing game. We could fish four
fish which we could bring home. (but the fish were plastic fish, this time). Then
we tried target shooting, which I missed all my chances. Then after we meet the
famous Japanese Actor from Power Ranger movies, Mr. Shun Shioya. We took
pictures with him and is autograph. We heard that he loved Nepalese children
very much and how he worked hard to be successful. Next we ate our snacks and
some Japanese food – similar to mo mo. Then there was a Japanese group dance
called Obon Odori, with loud beats of Japanese drum called taiko. Every one
enjoyed the dance.
For the
children, there was a face painting stall, where a sister painted a cartoon ( Doraemon)
on my arm and a Hello Kitty on my sister's arm. In no time I went to learn and
make Origami and Calligraphy, and played Kendama.
Soon
there was another performance ( Koto Performance) there we could listen the song
that tells Japan's beauty. Then there was an another performance called Kendo.
It was a Japanese stick fight, with loud shouts by opponents. Then Judo, and
Karate was performed. All of these were very scary and exiting.
There
was a large crowd at the Festival. I am fortunate to have attended it. After all
these exiting events, we returned home safe and sound.
