Japan in London ...
my childhood dream
come true







I went to school in London for a while,
getting immersed in Japanese Buddhist art and culture at the museums . . .

Charnwood celebrates Japan in the Heart of London

Join us on the path to UK2K12 and contribute to the
London Japan Matsuri 2010
wherever in the world you are!

‘Haikumania’ Rides Again!
Haiku poets Paul Conneally and Kevin Ryan will revive their work with Loughborough based Charnwood Arts to launch a new two year programme of Haikumania projects beginning at the London Japan Matsuri 2010 at Spitalfields this Saturday, 18th September.
This event is in partnership with The Japan Society.

Haikumania at the Matsuri will involve a series of interactive haiku activities exploring Spitalfields Market and the surrounding area.

Haikumania will lead ‘Ginko‘, haiku walks, through and around the market and responding to the event itself. The resulting works will be displayed on a large 18 feet x 6 feet board featuring images, haiku and map references to the area and will be collected together to share back to participants later.

London
is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom, and the largest city, urban zone and metropolitan area in the United Kingdom, and the European Union by most measures. Located on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia, its history going back to its founding by the Romans, who named it Londinium.
London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its square-mile medieaval boundaries.
