Japanese Culture

From "Sensation"
to "Creation".

Japanese is full of unique sound-symbolic words called "Onomatope" (e.g., "Peko-peko", "Kira-kira").

This event is a Subculture Art Experience where you don't just memorize words, but Feel them through touch and taste, and Create art on a white wall.

Dive into the world of Japanese sounds!
