A representative of the Foundation – @_annastefanska – had the opportunity to attend Poland’s largest fantasy festival, Pyrkon! We sincerely thank @Pyrkon for the invitation. In her account, she shares: “It was a great pleasure, and the event made a tremendous impression on me. Fantasy-related stands naturally played a leading role, but I was positively surprised by how many Japanese elements appeared at the festival. You could find figures, manga, cosmetics, and gadgets there. There were also special places where participants could receive a short lesson in Japanese calligraphy or enjoy green tea in the atmosphere of a traditional Sadō (茶道) tea ceremony. It was a wonderful experience that I can confidently recommend to all fans of fantasy and the Far East!” And were you at this year’s Pyrkon? Would you like to see our stand next year?
