WE MEET AT SAKURA FESTIVAL
Within the scope of the Sakura Festival organized by Sabancı University, which broke new ground in the centenary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Turkey and Japan, guests will have the chance to watch the flowers of approximately 2000 Sakura trees on the campus and celebrate this beauty by coming together.
In the daytime program of the Sakura Festival, which will last all day, visitors will have a pleasant time with the concerts of traditional bands from Japan, Kufuki and Yogetsu Akasaka, as well as the performances of DJ Salam and DJ Kunio Teramoto. Origami, ikebana, shadoo, sushi and scent workshops, kendo show and traditional tea ceremony will take place throughout the day.
The festival will also screen the movie "The Boy and The Heron", with which the great master Hayao Miyazaki made his magnificent return to cinema after a decade and won the best animation Oscar at the 96th Academy Awards.
At the gala event in the evening program of this special festival, Sakura trees, symbolizing rebirth in Japanese culture, will bring the two communities together and will be hope for successful young people in need of financial support studying at Sabancı University.
